In case you didn't see this in every paper in Canada yesterday. Here it is again.

Attention Owners of Pioneer Aftermarket Car Amplifiers Model # GM-X572, GM-X574, GM-X972 and GM-D500M

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

Pioneer has determined that the installation of these car amplifiers in a manner other than as recommended by Pioneer may result in a potential safety hazard under certain conditions. This improper installation may result in the amplifier overheating during use, the exterior surface becoming hot to the touch, the appearance of smoke and then, internal damage to the unit. After this happens, the amplifier may be inoperable. Pioneer is not currently aware of any injury or vehicle damage resulting from the improper installation of these car amplifiers.

If you own one of these car amplifiers, you should return it to the retail location where it was purchased for a refund. You should return your car amplifier even if you believe it was properly installed. You should also return your car amplifier even if you have previously obtained service for your amplifier or received a replacement amplifier.

If you have a question that your retailer can not answer, please call Pioneer’s toll free customer satisfaction line in Canada at 877- 283-5901.

We regret the necessity of asking you to take these steps but Pioneer’s primary concerns are your safety and satisfaction with the quality and operation of your Pioneer product.
