I just received a call from my dive shop that my Dive Rite RG1205 1st stage failed during a performance test. It had been serviced only 18 months prior and had 28 dives between the service and it failing. The shop called and said that it had cracks in the body. Not sure when the cracks appeared but I hadn't ever had any issues with the regulator in the time I owned it. It had been regularly serviced and had never had any concerns brought up. The shop called Dive Rite and I think I will be trading in the failed stage for the newer modern stage they offer but I haven't decided yet.
I am definitely glad it failed during the service and not during a dive.
I'm curious how often 1st stages fail during a service due to something not parts related or if anyone else has had this happen to them.
