URGENT RECALL: OMS - Buoyancy Control System Overpressure Valve (OPV)
Date: 2001-11-17

OMS BCD Overpressure Valve OPV

From OMS:

Important Product Safety Recall : Buoyancy Control System Overpressure Valve (OPV)

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission:

OMS BC's with the following serial numbers { located on the WARNING LABEL } :

OM1200000 - OM1200085
OM0101000 - OM0101229
OM0201000 - OM0201269
OM0301000 - OM0301159
OM0401085 - OM0401319
OM0501110 - OM0501509
OM0601125 - OM0601351

Molding variations in one component of the overpressure valve (OPV) used in the OMS Buoyancy Control Systems (BCS) could, in rare instances, prevent the OPV from sealing properly creating a potential drowning hazard. While this variation is not present in every OPV, we feel it may be difficult to determine in the field which OPVs are suspect. Please return the BCS overpressure valve to an authorized dealer for a free replacement OPV.

Suspect overpressure valves may have a RED pull.

New replacement OPV will have a BLACK pull.

Instructions on replacing the OPV Assembly can be found in the FAQ's BC OPV
