Oceanic has issued a recall of 24,700 Oceanic CDX first stage regulators. Extreme vibration can cause air leakage underwater, leading to out of air situations. Oceanic has received six reports of noise or vibration accompanied by air leakage. No injuries have been reported.

Oceanic CDX first stage regulators subject to the recall have serial numbers 9200001 to 9205622, 9800013 to 9801711, 0200001 to 0213294, 0D0001 to 0D3046, or 9D0001 to 9D3273. The serial number is stamped into the side of the body of the regulator. The regulators have the name "OCEANIC" written on the rubber boot of the first stage. These CDX regulators were sold with the following second stage regulators: Alpha 7, Delta 3, Gamma 2, and Zeta.

Take your recalled CDX regulator to any authorized Oceanic dealer to get a free repair. Or contact Oceanic toll-free at (866) 723-2642, web site at www.OceanicWorldWide.com, service@oceanicusa.com.
