Does this affect my vehicle?
This recall covers vehicles built between January 1995 and March 1995. If yours was built outside that window, it is not part of this recall.
- Alliedsignal OIL FilterBuilt January 1995 to March 1995
- FRAM PH6017Built January 1995 to March 1995
What the defect is
The distance from the first thread of the filter to the gasket face is approximately 0.405" and it should be approximately 0.388". This design only allows a few threads to engage when installing on motorcycle and can result in the filter "blowing off."
What could happen
Oil will be sprayed out onto the bike and/or road surface causing the driver to lose control and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.
What gets fixed
ALLIED SIGNAL IS REQUESTING THAT OIL FILTERS BE RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR IMMEDIATE CREDIT. FOR FILTERS INSTALLED BY DEALERS, ALL SERVICE AND REQUIRED PARTS WILL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 12 April 1995.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
