The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Crown Boiler Company are recalling Crown Aruba IV (AWR Series) gas-fired hot water boilers.  The blocked vent switch fails to operate properly at altitudes above 2,000 feet leading to emission of poisonous carbon monoxide.


About 1100 of these boilers were sold by heating and plumbing contractors and wholesale distributors nationwide.


If you have one of these boilers, contact the Crown Boiler Company at 1-888-583-5624 or via the email  [email protected] to check if your particular boiler model number is part of the recall.  If so, the company will arrange a free repair.  Meanwhile, if you must use the boiler, have a carbon monoxide monitor operating.
