I've heard that there has been a recall on certain Fleetguard filters that were manufactured in Mexico due to quality control issues. I have not been told anything about that from our supplier so I was wondering if anyone else knew if there was any truth to it. I've seen nothing about it on the Fleetguard website. Our supplier is closed on weekends so I wouldn't be able to contact them till Monday.
 
Not sure if these are the only ones

Ouch !!
 
Not jumping Fg here, but I'd like to know more about the specifics of the "defect". Media, bypass or something else?
