A. O. Smith is recalling approximately 190 of its 30-gallon natural gas water heaters, model number G6-UT3030NV. The flame arrestor in these units can fail to operate correctly, which poses a serious fire hazard. These units were sold exclusively at Lowe's stores in California between February and April 2018. While no incidents have been reported, A. O. Smith is offering a free repair to all affected customers.
The water heater's flame arrestor can fail to function properly, which can allow a fire to start outside of the combustion chamber. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately turn off and stop using the recalled water heaters and contact A. O. Smith to arrange for a free repair.
