Hazard

York's quality assurance and manufacturing investigation found these furnaces could have detached heat exchanger tubes. A separated heat exchanger tube could result in leakage of flue gases, including carbon monoxide, which could result in serious injury or death.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these furnaces immediately and contact York for information in determining if the furnace is part of the recall. All installed furnaces will be inspected and furnaces with improperly fabricated heat exchanger tubes will be replaced at no cost to the consumer. York has notified the furnace distributors to contact consumers directly about the recall.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.
