Recall details

Recalling firm

Pacific Consolidated Industries LLC

Reason for recall

The recall was initiated after the firm received two customer complaints of ruptured bourdon tubes that had resulted in bellowed out face gauges. With one unit the operator was able to shut off the oxygen flow, however one rupture resulted in a fire. No injuries were reported.

Action taken

PCI sent a Recall Notification letter to the Spanish Air Force September 8, 2007. The Recall Notification letter was mailed to the US Defense Supply Center on July 24, 2008 after a recall agreement was signed on July 8, 2008 between Pacific Consolidated Industries and the Defense Supply Center. The recall notification to Spanish Air Force informed the consignee of the problem and asked the consignee to remove the affected units from service until a Technical Service Representative could be sent to Spain to inspect the affected units and perform the corrective action. The recall notification to Defense Supply Center instructed the consignee to keep the affected units in quarantine (units placed in quarantine by US Air Force August 3, 2007) until they have been refurbished under recall agreement that was signed on July 8, 2008.
