On March 6, 2007 Laars announced a recall of their 9600 CB and HWG series of boilers. Apparently the ABS exhaust manifolds of the boiler are prone to crack and leak flue gases from the units. Only boilers with a black, ABS manifolds are affected. Newer units with a grey, CPVC manifold are exempt. Laars has an US$85 labor allowance for the repair of all affected units.
Manifolds can be ordered from the factory by calling 800-900-9276 ext. 4. The repair kit in question is part number R206077 and is being provided at no cost, freight pre-paid to the jobsite by the factory.
