Why it was recalled
Water or moisture may enter the ignition module causing it to fail. This may result in overheating and sparking in the relays and lead to the plastic casing of the ignition module catching fire and/or create a 'false' call for heating, allowing the heater to operate when in the 'OFF' position, bridging the safety circuit and allowing the heater to operate with no water flow.
Hazard
If the ignition module fails and causes a fire, this may result in a serious injury or death to users or bystanders.
