Fuel Filter Recall:Purolator

Just a heads up as these fit 04-06 F-150's:

File Date 6/23/2006
Mfr. Involved UFI FILTERS USA
NHTSA Campaign # 06E056000
Mfr. Campaign #
Component Affected FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
# Vehicles Affected 58640
Defect CERTAIN AFTERMARKET FUEL FILTERS SOLD UNDER THE PUROLATOR BRAND NAME, P/N F65277, SHIPPED FROM JANUARY 16 THROUGH JUNE 2, 2006, FOR USE ON THE ABOVE LISTED PASSENGER VEHICLES. DUE TO INCORRECT DESIGN, THE QUICK CONNECTORS MAY NOT FULLY SEAT WITH THE TUBE INTERFACE, EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON MAKING THE CONNECTION MAY BELIEVE THAT THE QUICK CONNECTOR IS FULLY ATTACHED.
Consequence FAILURE OF THIS CONNECTION COULD LEAD TO FUEL SPILLAGE AND, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
Corrective Action UFI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FILTERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE/JULY 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT UFI FILTERS USA AT 800-230-5876.

Good looking out. That is crazy, how would the manufacture contact the people that purchased the filters over the counter. There really is no record of their purchase. This also is a serious safety hazard. Again, good information.

I pulled this off the partsamerica.com website and you had the same thought I did. How would they contact cash paying customers?
