Viessmann is recalling about 2,900 Vitodens 200-W and Vitodens 222-F series boilers used for home heating. The boiler's heat exchanger back plate can corrode and leak flue gases, allowing the unit to emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into the home. These white metal units were sold by authorized dealers nationwide from September 2014 through October 2018 for between $2,700 and $4,200. Viessmann is offering a free in-home safety inspection and repair to all affected customers.
The corroded back plate allows carbon monoxide to escape the unit instead of being safely vented, posing a serious poisoning hazard to residents. While no injuries have been reported yet, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause illness or death.
Consumers with recalled boilers should immediately contact the installer or distributor from whom they purchased the boiler or Viessmann to schedule a free in-home safety inspection and repair. Consumers who continue the use of the boilers while awaiting repair, should have a working carbon monoxide alarm installed outside of sleeping areas in the home.
