Coleman, Coleman Evcon and Red T Gas Furnaces for Manufactured Homes

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

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

What happened

York International has recalled certain Coleman, Coleman Evcon, and Red T brand gas furnaces installed in manufactured homes because the furnaces can overheat, causing the heat-exchanger to crack. When cracks form, flames become exposed inside the furnace cabinet, which can ignite nearby drywall and other combustible materials, creating a fire and smoke hazard. The recalled furnaces are silver with white access panels and include models DGAM075BDD, DGAM075BDE, DGAM075BDF, DGAT070BDD, DGAT070BDE, DGAT070BDF, DGAT075BDD, DGAT075BDE, DGAT075BDF, DLAS075BDD, DLAS075BDE, and DLAS075BDF.

Consumers who own one of these furnaces should immediately stop using it until it has been inspected and repaired. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact UPG to schedule a free inspection and repair of their furnace.
