I was astonished today to find my local WM completely wiped out of their 3614 filters.....no PH, no TG, no XGs......not even any "ST"s.....went up to their automotive desk, and they said ALL of their FRAM filters were recalled per Honeywell or somesuch....?
The only one's "not affected" were the SuperTech 3614 filters....which obviously were out of stock since they were likely using them out in the shop
Cause yea, they said even their "PRO" (the FRAM "Fleet Pack" - unboxed filters...to "save money" for shop use I guess) line of filters were affected by the recall.
Supposidely the filters were not "manufactured to spec" and did not have proper fitment on "some vehicles" - the notice did not call out any vehicles in particular though......since I am a regular there, usually have them service my car(s); they showed me the notice.
So be on the look out....
Don't know if it's "only" FRAM/Honeywell, or across other manufacturers as well? Kind of freaks me out, cause my car uses the 3614 filter....and have had at least 2 of those filters on my car, no leaks, no flickering oil light, etc....though...
