Affected
These Buoyancy Control Systems come in two versions, a jacket style and a wings style. The overpressure valve is installed on these units. It is very difficult to distinguish the defective overpressure valves from those not affected. Therefore, all overpressure valves with red pulls are included in this recall. The jacket model has the DUI logo printed on the jacket pocket, epaulet, and weight pockets. The wings model has the DUI logo printed on the epaulet and weight pockets. The letters "DUI" are printed on the permanent hang tags found on the Buoyancy Control System.
