New Yorker Boiler is recalling about 191 PVCGA model cast iron hot water boilers because a faulty air pressure switch may not shut off the burners if the vent system becomes blocked. This can cause the boiler to release dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide into the home. These green-colored boilers were manufactured between May 2012 and February 2013 and sold at plumbing and heating distributors nationwide for between $1,600 and $3,200. Consumers should contact their installer or the company for a free safety inspection and repair.
The air pressure switch can fail to shut down the burners during a vent blockage, leading to the emission of excessive carbon monoxide. This poses a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to residents, which can be fatal.
Consumers with recalled boilers should immediately contact the installer or distributor from whom they purchased the boiler or New Yorker Boiler Company to schedule a free in-home safety inspection and repair. Consumers who continue using the boilers while awaiting repair, should have a working carbon monoxide alarm installed outside of sleeping areas in the home.
Recalled New Yorker hot water boilers were manufactured between May 2012 and February 2013.
The model number and manufacturing date are located on a silver label on the inside of the right side panel.
