Product description

The recall involves Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze products manufactured by Prestone for AutoZone. Only bottles filled with blue fluid in one-gallon, clear bottles with date code FT21281 on the bottom of the bottle below the back label are included in the recall. "Shop Pro RV & Marine Antifreeze" is printed on the front of the bottles. If your bottle is filled with pink liquid, it is properly labeled, and it can be used.
