Fire Concerns Prompt York International to Reannounce Recall of Gas Furnaces for Manufactured Homes
What was recalled
The recall involves Coleman, Coleman Evcon and Red T brand furnaces. The furnaces are silver with white access panels. "Coleman," "Coleman Evcon" and "Red T" brand names are located on the middle of the front access panel. The model number is written on a faceplate, found by removing both front access panels. The faceplate is found mounted on the left inside surface behind the lower panel. Models included in the recall are: DGAM075BDD DGAM075BDE DGAM075BDF DGAT070BDD DGAT070BDE DGAT070BDF DGAT075BDD DGAT075BDE DGAT075BDF DLAS075BDD DLAS075BDE DLAS075BDF
Hazard
