Flushmate II 501-B pressure-assisted flushing systems
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Flushmate is recalling Flushmate II 501-B pressure-assisted flushing systems installed inside toilet tanks. These systems can burst at or near the vessel weld seam, releasing stored pressure that can lift the tank lid and shatter the tank, creating impact and laceration hazards to people and causing property damage. The recalled units are rounded oval, black, two-piece plastic vessels manufactured between September 3, 1996 and December 7, 2013, and were installed in toilets made by American Standard, Corona, Crane, Kohler, and Mansfield.
You can identify a recalled unit by checking the 15-character serial number on the label on top of the Flushmate II 501-B unit—the first six numerals (in MMDDYY format) must fall between 090396 and 120713 to be recalled. The model code, also on the label, is 10 characters long, starts with M, and ends with F. If you have a recalled unit, you should immediately stop using it, turn off the water supply to the unit, and flush the toilet to release internal pressure. According to the recall, you should then contact Flushmate to request a free replacement unit and installation by a technician.
