The recall involves model numbers NPE-180A, NPE-180S and NCB-180E. The recalled water heaters and combination boilers were manufactured between July 9 - Oct. 14, 2018.

"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water heaters and boilers that are using propane gas and contact Navien for a free replacement conversion kit," the company said. "Consumers who continue use of the water heaters and boilers while awaiting repair, should have a working carbon monoxide alarm installed outside of sleeping areas in the home."
