Affected models are 6004, 6005, and 6017. The 6004 and 6005 are cartridge (internal type) and the 6017 is a spin-on. The 6017 has a faulty crimp attaching the filter can to the base. The 6017 is what FRAM suggests for the Honda VFR750 (among many other bikes).
Here is the text of a posting to the racing mailing list with further details. (I did not write this.)
"I just got off the phone with a very helpful woman at Allied-Signal, owners of Fram Filters. They are issuing a recall on Fram motorcycle oil filters model PH6017 that were made in Korea and sold to dealers between January 1, 1995 and March 16, 1995. This filter has the threads cut wrong and could blow off resulting in rapid loss of oil, crashing, injury, terminal engine damage, etc.
"This model is a spin on filter that fits many popular Honda, Kawasaki and Yamahas--no other brand. I do not have a complete listing of the models. Maybe some kind soul out there will look on the box and post the list. However, if your filter isn't a spin on, then it is not recalled. (But read on for information about other "reclaims.")
"The RECALL only applies to PH6017 filters that were sold to dealers between January 1, 1995 and March 16, 1995. If you bought a PH6017 filter in, say, November 1994, then your filter is okay.
"The easy way to tell if your filter is suspect: The bad filters were all made in Korea. The filter itself will have "Made in Korea" in silver letters on the bottom after it says "Allied-Signal." Those filters stamped "Made in the Phillippines" are okay.
"If you have a Fram spin on filter model PH6017, check it out. Fram is taking responsibility in some way for damage caused by the bad part. You'll need to contact them in order to find out about making a claim.
"Return any bad filters, new or used, to your dealer for a refund. Fram does not have any replacement filters available. They recommend that you buy the OEM filter, or another brand.
"Fram is also issuing a "reclaim" on some other filter models. They say that there is NO SAFETY PROBLEM with these. I don't know why they are issuing the reclaim, but I'll post that info when I get it.
"That's about it. Please check your filter. One blew off on the front straight at Loudon this weekend and left an engine full of oil on the ground in a great big hurry."
