Airtex E84070 Replacement Fuel Pumps Recalled for Leak Risk
UCI-Fram Group is recalling Airtex E84070 replacement fuel pumps shipped between December 2013 and June 2014 due to a seal defect that may cause fluid leaks and increase fire risk.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fuel system defect that explicitly increases the risk of a vehicle fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural vehicle defects involving fire hazards.
Plain-English summary
UCI-Fram Group is recalling certain model E84070 replacement fuel pumps that were marketed and sold by Airtex Products, LLP. The affected units were shipped from December 11, 2013, to June 20, 2014. The recall involves 3,914 units.
The defect involves a poor seal around an electrical connection, which may cause the fuel pumps to leak fluid. If the fuel leaks in the presence of an ignition source, it increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
Airtex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected Airtex E84070 fuel pumps free of charge. The recall campaign was expected to begin in September 2014. Owners may contact UCI customer service at 1-800-880-3056 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
