PROBLEM: 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.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: None reported.
WHAT TO DO: Consumers should stop using these furnaces immediately and contact York for information in determining if the furnace is part of the recall. Consumers should call York toll-free at (877) 874-7378 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, to get information on scheduling a free inspection and repair. 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.
