The air compressor motor can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
DeVilbiss is recalling air compressors sold under multiple brand names because the motor can overheat and cause a fire. This affects consumers who own these specific models and dates, and immediate action is needed to prevent fire hazards.
The air compressor motor can overheat due to design flaws, which may lead to a fire. This risk occurs during normal use when the compressor is operating, especially if the motor is not properly cooled or maintained.
Owners of air compressors with the listed model numbers and manufacture dates (e.g., Craftsman 919-16724 from 9/2000 to 3/2003) are most at risk. Anyone using these compressors for home or workshop tasks could face fire hazards if the motor overheats.
Check the unit name plate on the tank for the model number, brand, tank size, color, and manufacture date. The recalled units include specific models like Craftsman 919-16724 (15 gal. horizontal, red) made between 9/2000 and 3/2003.
Immediately unplug and stop using the recalled air compressor to prevent fire hazards.
