Plain-English summary

Airtex Products, LP is recalling certain replacement equipment fuel pump modules, part numbers C8006, PF2032, and DW3950. These units were manufactured between May 21, 2012, and June 2, 2014, and sold on or after July 23, 2014, through January 28, 2015. The affected fuel pumps feature a flexible line connecting the pump to an external fuel filter.

The recall is necessary because an improper seal on the flexible line may allow fuel to leak where it connects to the fuel filter. A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.

Airtex will notify owners and replace the defective fuel pumps free of charge. The recall began on April 3, 2015. Owners may contact Airtex customer service at 1-800-880-3056 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
