From Undercurrent.org:
AquaLung : Aqualung has recalled certain Titan/Conshelf DIN connectors, a threaded handwheel that connects the regulator to the air tank. The problem, according to AquaLung product manager Tom Philipp: "Some dive technicians using too much brawn." The handwheel retainers are weakened during service when they're manually adjusted at torque levels higher than recommended. The recall mostly affects European divers and those who buy European regulators. DIN connectors are sold in Europe while the U.S. uses yoke knobs to tighten regulators. Owners of Titan DIN regulators with a serial number lower than 6062501 or Titan/Conshelf DIN adaptors marked with "300 BAR MAX" can return them to a AquaLung retailer for an upgrade covered under warranty. The correction will be switching out the brass handwheel retainer for a stainless steel one marked "300 BAR MAXI". For details, contact AquaLung at support@aqualung.com , or call 1 760 597-5000.
