| A problem has been identified, where
cabinet insulation can deteriorate on 80% counterflow furnace model numbers P2DP, PBKD,
& XED02. These furnaces were sold under the brand names: York, Fraser-Johnston,
LuxAire, & Moncrief. Although every effort has been made to locate each and every
unit, our product tracking records indicate that there are STILL many furnaces in need of
inspection. |
| To date, we have received approximately a
dozen reports of incidents nationwide from fire departments and insurance carriers that
involve these furnaces. These reports concern fire and smoke damage that can occur when
the deteriorated or loose cabinet insulation allows cabinet temperatures of the furnace to
become elevated. When the installation of the furnace is close to a combustible material,
such as drywall or paneling, these elevated temperatures may cause these combustible
materials to smolder and possibly ignite. |
| Some of these incidents have occurred after the initiation of
this program and could have been avoided if the necessary insulation liner kits had been
installed. |
| Insulation liner kits, Source One P/N 373-18126-001, for the 16 in.
cabinet width furnaces, and P/N 373-18126-002, for the 22 in. & 26 in. cabinet
width furnaces have been supplied, to our Unitary Products Group Distribution Centers.
Both the cost of the kit and the installation fee will be covered, AT NO CHARGE TO YOU.
