This appears to be a formal announcement of last year's issues with ScubaPro Mk-20 1st stage regs, see http://www.oldbonairetalk.com/newsgroup/messages/27/226806.html

Thanks much for the heads up. Both my wife and I have been diving with MK20s since 1999. I was aware that there had been discussion of this problem previously, as noted above by Dr. Director, but was unaware that a formal recall had been made. Our equipment is now at the shop getting modified, so we can dive Bonaire with peace of mind in January. Thanks again.

It pays to get documentation that the upgrade was installed. The number of vents on the saddle cap is not a sure-fire indicator. For instance, my MK20 Nitrox came back with a green saddle with 3 vent caps, same as it went in. I requested and received a follow-up fax from Scubapro confirming by serial number my first stage is currently configured with the correct model retainer, and an explanation that they did not have any green saddles with 2 vents manufactured. Jules Ganier is the Scubapro Technical Services Supervisor you'll want to contact if you have any questions - he's very professional in his dealings on this matter.
