What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of serious injury or death from carbon monoxide leakage, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

York International Corporation is recalling approximately 7,000 gas furnaces sold under the York, Luxaire, and Coleman brand names. The recall involves specific model families including P4HU, P1DU, FL8B, G8D, G8T, and L8T. These furnaces were installed nationwide by independent installers and contractors.

The recall was initiated after York's quality assurance investigation found that heat exchanger tubes in these units could detach. A separated tube could allow flue gases, including carbon monoxide, to leak into the home, posing a risk of serious injury or death. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the defect.

Consumers should stop using these furnaces immediately and contact York to determine if their unit is affected. York will inspect all installed furnaces and replace those with improperly fabricated heat exchanger tubes at no cost. Consumers can call York toll-free at (877) 874-7378 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, for more information.
