Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Marshall Gas Controls has recalled LP-gas regulators used on Char-Broil, Kenmore, and Thermos brand gas grills. Some regulators were assembled with an undersized seat disc that could become dislodged and leak propane gas, which is highly flammable and could ignite, causing a fire or explosion. The recall affects two regulator models: Model 451 (single outlet) and Model 452 (dual outlet), with specific date codes ranging from 13-03/03-13 through 18-03/03-18 printed on the valve body.
According to the recall notice, if LP-gas leakage is detected, consumers should immediately close the valve on the service cylinder and contact the Grill Service Center to receive a free replacement regulator.
