Why it was recalled
The base seal of the oil filter may prevent the thread from screwing on properly and cause the oil filter to loosen or come off while the vehicle is being driven, causing oil to spill out of the engine. This can happen even when the filter has been fitted correctly, and it can happen without any warning to the driver.
What to do
- Stop driving the vehicle immediately if you have the oil filter installed and do not use your vehicle until the oil filter is replaced. If you have not yet fitted the oil filter, do not install it.
- If the oil filter has been installed in your vehicle, Basco will cover the reasonable costs of having your vehicle inspected and oil filter replaced. Please provide your receipts to Basco when you contact them.
- If the oil filter has not been installed yet:
- If you purchased the standalone oil filter from Basco or Allied Auto Online, contact Basco to arrange a free replacement or full refund,
- If you purchased the filter service kit from Bunnings, return the kit to any Bunnings store for a full refund, or contact Basco to arrange a free replacement oil filter.
- Contact Basco for further information or assistance with this recall.
