Scubapro® Recalls MK 20 Scuba Regulators for Service

The recall involves first stage regulators that are marked with the Scubapro brand and identified as the MK20.

Required Consumer Action

Scubapro® USA has been providing a service upgrade kit via the authorized dealer network since May 2005 which contains a Yoke or Din retainer that prohibits over-tightening during annual service. Consumers can easily identify if the service upgrade has been completed by counting the vents on the plastic saddle located on the regulator. If the service upgrade has not been completed, the consumer should bring the regulator to any authorized Scubapro® dealer to have the service upgrade completed free of charge.
