Is my product affected?

Gas Furnaces

  • Brand The Unitary Products Group (UPG) of York International Corp., of York, Pa.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

York International, in conjunction with the CPSC, is recalling Coleman, Coleman Evcon, and Red T brand gas furnaces because they can overheat and develop cracks in the heat exchanger. If the heat exchanger burns through, it can cause the furnace wrapper itself to burn through, potentially heating or igniting drywall and other nearby combustible materials, creating a fire and smoke hazard.

The recalled furnaces are silver-colored with white access panels and specific model numbers (DGAM075BDD, DGAM075BDE, DGAM075BDF, DGAT070BDD, DGAT070BDE, DGAT070BDF, DGAT075BDD, DGAT075BDE, DGAT075BDF, DLAS075BDD, DLAS075BDE, and DLAS075BDF). The model number can be found on a nameplate inside the furnace, behind the lower front access panel. According to the recall, consumers should stop using the heating function of these furnaces and should contact UPG to schedule a free inspection and repair.
