Certain Alpine PDR-F50 Amps Recalled

Heads-up! I received a notice last night that Apline PDR-F50 amps produced between December 1, 2013, and July 1, 2015, may overheat and present a fire hazard.

Thanks bwk1971, seem like this will affect just about all of them. I wonder have anyone experienced any issues such as this?

Honestly, I have never even checked mine for heating problems. And, baum, you raise a good point. However, I purchased mine from Amazon and they are the retailer that alerted me to the recall. I sure hope nobody's Camaro becomes a victim.

also you can go to the alpine web site and register you product, if you have the birth sheet that is all you need, serial number is right on it!

alpine wants me to send the unit in, leaving me without a stereo??? not acceptable, if this sucker bursts in to flames they can buy me a whole new ride!
