Automatic Gas Vent Dampers

Published May 23, 2014 · Recall initiated: October 9, 2008

What's the hazard

The automatic gas vent damper could fail, and if the blocked vent switch does not activate, the vent could leak carbon monoxide (CO). This poses a risk of CO poisoning to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the boilers, weather permitting, and contact their installer to confirm they have a recalled vent damper and to receive a free vent damper replacement.
