A. O. Smith is recalling water pump motors sold with lawn sprinkler pumps and jet pumps manufactured by F. E. Myers Co. between August 2007 and May 2008, as well as certain replacement motors sold separately.

Smith" and model number "C48D52B86." Products marked with an "OK" sticker are not affected.
According to the recall, consumers should stop using the recalled units immediately and contact A. O. Smith to arrange for a free replacement of any pumps with affected motors or any affected replacement motors.
