A. O. Smith Recalls Water Pump Motors Due to Fire Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The water pumps with the recalled motors are labeled as containing a one-horsepower motor, but actually contain a 3/4-horsepower motor. Under certain conditions, the smaller motor could overheat, posing a fire hazard to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled units immediately and contact A. O. Smith to arrange for a free replacement of any pumps with affected motors or any affected replacement motors.
