The product, in the report: Boiler Buderus Retailer: installed in home? Here when caller purchased home
Caller is reporting that her boiler overheated and burnt holes which cause CO to escape into her home. She stated that it seems to have been occurring since she purchased the home in 2011. Caller stated that she contacted the company and a rep informed her that there was a recall on some of the parts of the boiler. She stated that a service came out on 2/1 because the unit was not working properly. She stated that after he was finished she told him that she had smelled gas. The technician checked and stated that he didn’t find anything.
Caller stated that she called in her contractor who informed her that there were fumes in the house, he then discovered that the exhaust pipe that was attached to the boiler had a hole which was causing the leak.
Caller stated that an emergency call was placed and a service technician came out and placed a patch over the leak, however, there was a 2nd leak which was not attended to. She stated later that night all the security and CO alarms went off, she immediately turned off the boiler and called the contractor and technician to come back to the home. (2/2)Caller stated that they came out the following day and tried to repair it, however, this did not resolve the issue.
Caller stated that the her contractor eventually was able to work on her unit to have it working again. Caller is concerned that she has been using a boiler that has been part of recall 09-752.
Caller will be contacting the recall firm for assistance as well.

The product, in the report: Condensing Gas Boiler Logamax plus GB 142-24 Buderus (Bosch Group) Hot water residential heating
Gas fired wall hung boiler has caused the exhaust vent to begin melting. Melted plastic exhaust vent will allow CO2 gas into the residence killing anyone who doesn’t have an alarm. The plastic condensate trap shows signs of excessive heat and melting. Condensate water will leak out and spill onto electrical motor connections causing shorts and possible house fire.

No one hurt Made Dec 19, 2016, sent to the company Mar 17, 2017, published by CPSC Mar 31, 2017
The product, in the report: Buderus Logamax Plus GB142
Factory supplied flue pipe adaptor has melted resulting in a hole, venting carbon monoxide directly into our home. I called Bosch/Buderus customer service to inquire about any recall information and despite them not requesting a model or serial number was told none of their products have been recalled. I am concerned asI have found some of their products have been recalled in the past. Most recently in august of 2016 for a carbon monoxide risk. They do not seem to take safety seriously. Given they sell and market products that can potentially kill people this is concerning.
