I bought a Koyo racing radiator (R1276 or w/e PN, ka24de) from an ebay seller yesterday (Decent price: $285 shipped). The seller refunded my payment today along with this note:
Message From Seller:
hi
sorry manufature recall product.
thank you for your understanding
regard
I called the seller, raceconcepts.net, and asked for some more info about this "manufacturer recall". He told me that Koyo is recalling some batches of the radiators due to an issue with some of the seam welds. I assume this means there are issues with cracking and/or leaking in some of their products :( I sure as fuck don't want a leaky radiator, that is why I am upgrading in the first place! The vendor said that they are shipping their entire radiator inventory back to Koyo, who will inspect the products and either ship replacements or the originals back to him in a few weeks.
Has anyone else (particularly Zilvia advertisers/vendors) heard about this recall or have any more information about it? I sent an email to Koyo ([email protected]) asking about the recall and waiting for a reply.
