Recall Notice from Navien

Navien America just announced a recall to replace the Nylon 66 exhaust vent collars with PVC collars on some Navien tankless water heaters.

The recall is due to the improper installation/connection of the vent pipes. Since the vent could break away from the collar this could lead to the leaks of the products of combustion, especially dangerous carbon monoxide.

The recall applies on the following Navien tankless water heaters (13,000 total):

CR-180(A), CR-210(A), CR-240(A), CC-180(A), CC-210(A), CC-240(A)

which are produced from January 3 2008 to December 2, 2008 and sold from February 2008 through March 2009.

Detail information can be found on CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission) website:

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12074.html

If you are the owner of the Navien tankless water heater, you should stop using it and check the model.

If the model is from the list from the above, contact Navien ((800) 244-8202) and schedule a free repair.
