The problem was the air box moldings were made to different dimensions & were not consistent in size which could allow for unfiltered air past the main filter, Australia responded with all the OEM fitter being removed at PDI & replaced with a Australian brand foam filters.

Also know of one or two side panels not sealing on the XTZ air box's, I would remove them & seal them up with water proof grease to be on the safe side.
So you're saying there was an actual problem with the DNA topcover seal? First word I'm hearing about this in SA?
