Why is it being recalled? (Hazard)
The exhaust duct can crack, allowing gases to escape inside of the home, posing a carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard that can result in death or serious injury.
What should I do? (Remedy)
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water heater and contact VESTA.DS to have a certified technician install the free repair. Consumers who must continue using the water heater while awaiting repair should have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their homes.
