BALDWIN FILTERS P7405
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Baldwin Filters is recalling certain aftermarket oil filters with part number P7405 that were produced between November 2009 and November 2010. These filters were designed for use in large trucks and other large vehicles with specific Detroit Diesel Corporation engines (models DD13 and DD15). In cold weather conditions, the filter media can fail, causing an adhesive bead to potentially travel into the oil stream and block oil flow.
This defect can cause engines to overheat, resulting in a loss of engine power and potential crankshaft failure. A loss of engine power could result in a vehicle crash. Baldwin Filters will notify owners of record and replace the P7405 filter with the original equipment filter at no charge. Owners should contact Baldwin Filters Service Engineering at 1-800-822-5394 ext. 79729 to arrange the replacement.
