    The product, in the report: Buderus (Bosch) Condensing Gas Boiler

    Buderus - Bosch Wall Hung Heater (Gas Home Furnace) Epidemic failure of vent adapter causes CO fumes to exhaust directly into living space. My Buderus Model GB142 furnace is 4-5 years old and was properly installed by an authorized Buderus Agent. Similar models to the GB-142 are 24/30/45/60. I recently scheduled a cleaning but the service person (not a Buderus Agent) found that the vent adapter was rotted away and that carbon-monoxide-rich exhaust was flowing directly into our basement (maybe explaining a recent surge in headaches). Further research finds that Buderus (a division of Bosch) is aware of the problem, has redesigned the failing component, and has issued an internal “Product Notice” (https://www.bosch-climate.us/files/PIN_GB142_Vent_Adaptor_Inspection_US.pdf). Yet they have not notified consumers and have apparently not reported the problem to the CPSC. They offered to replace the part for free (only if I had registered the warranty when I bought the furnace and follow the very complicated re-imbursement procedure) but I will still need to pay the several hundred dollars to have their authorized service agent install it. The photo in the Product Notice shows a failure that is identical to mine and the gaping hole depicted makes clear the danger of the problem... That hole is in the exhaust pipe and an internal blower is forcing the exhaust under and pressure through that hole and into our home!!!! People who have these furnaces in their homes are going to start dying from CO poisoning unless the CPSC steps in and forces Buderus to more actively correct this problem!!!!
