Summary

Eberspacher is recalling approximately 80 Hydronic L-II heaters, specifically models HL2-16, HL2-24, HL2-30, and HL2-35, manufactured between May 1, 2023, and January 31, 2024. The burner units in these heaters can release excessive amounts of exhaust gas, which can lead to smoke poisoning or a vehicle fire. Owners are advised to stop using these heaters immediately until they have been inspected and repaired by an authorized dealer.

  2. Stop using the heater immediately to prevent the risk of fire or smoke inhalation.
  3. Contact Eberspacher customer service at 1-800-387-4800 to arrange for a free repair and calibration.
  4. Visit an authorized dealer where they will rework and calibrate the unit to ensure exhaust gas levels are safe, free of charge.

As described in 573.7, submission of the first of eight consecutive quarterly status reports is required within one month after the close of the calendar quarter in which notification to purchasers occurs.
