Crown Boiler Recalls Home Heating Boilers Due to Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Product photos

Recalled CWD series natural gas and liquid petroleum hot water boilers were manufactured between May 2005 and July 2013.

The model number and the manufacturing date are located on a white rating label located on the upper right side of the boiler.

Hazard

The air pressure switch can fail to shut down the burners in the event that there is a blockage in the vent system allowing the boiler to emit excessive amounts of carbon monoxide, posing a CO poisoning hazard to the consumer.

Remedy

Consumers with recalled boilers should immediately contact the installer or distributor from whom they purchased the boiler or Crown Boiler to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers who continue using the boilers while awaiting repair, should have a working carbon monoxide alarm installed outside of sleeping areas in the home.

Sold at

Plumbing and heating wholesale distributors nationwide from May 2005 through July 2013 for between $4,000 and $6,700.
