Gas boilers recalled due to manifold crack issue

About 7,900 Weil-McLain Ultra gas-fired boilers for space heating sold in the United States were recalled due to a fire and explosion risk that exists because the cap on the boiler’s manifold can crack and release gas. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled four different boiler models: the 80, 105, 155 and 230 MBH Ultra Series boilers. According to CPSC, Indiana-based Weil-McLain has received 11 reports of manifold caps cracking. No fires or injuries have been reported.
