The CPSC data does not provide a discrete model-number list for this record. Compare the product description and identification details on the official notice.
The model number and date code (designated by the four digits following an "M" in the middle of the serial number) are printed on the unit's rating plate, which is on the left wall of the furnace's interior just above the burner.
Why it was recalled
If the furnace is not properly wired, the oil burner can continue to operate when the blower shuts off, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
Incidents and injuries
Rheem has received one report in which the furnace was incorrectly wired. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately contact the contractor who installed the oil furnace to arrange for a free inspection and repair, if necessary.
