Hazard

A problem with the boiler's ignition due to insufficient output voltage from the boiler's transformer can damage the boiler's venting. This can result in leaking flue gases, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to consumers.

Remedy

Bosch has directly contacted consumers who purchased the recalled boilers, inspected and, if necessary, repaired the boilers.

Incidents & injuries

No incidents or injuries reported in the United States. Two incidents were reported in Germany, neither of which resulted in injury.
