The recall applies to all production of these models with a production date of prior to the 8th of January 2024.

Hazard
The product presents a risk of fire due to the dry operation, meaning the boiler lights gas but the heat generated does not cool it. There have been three incidents of boilers that have been able to continue to operate when the boiler heat exchanger has been full of air at a low pressure. This has allowed the heat exchanger and associated plastic components to be subject to significant heat allowing the plastic to flash to flame and result in fire outside of the appliance. There has also been a report of a customer having to extinguish flames.

Corrective action
Ideal has launched a modification programme to address the safety risk and has advised that customers can continue to use their boiler which should be repressurised to 1.5 bar. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the Ideal safety notice at the following link: https://idealheating.com/blog/important ... ety-notice.
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
