What happened

Coast Spas and Franklin Electric Co. are recalling certain hot tubs manufactured between January 2002 and October 2004 that contain circulating pump and motor assemblies which can overheat and create a fire hazard. The recall applies only to spas with red or yellow pump and motor assemblies, which can be identified by checking the compartment inside the spa where the manufacturer's name, date code, and pump assembly are located.

Affected consumers should contact Coast Spas immediately to arrange for a free retrofit installation by a service technician. Until the retrofit is completed, consumers must shut off power to the spa and, if they live in an area with below-freezing temperatures, should winterize the spa using procedures found in the owner's manual or by calling Coast Spas for instructions.
