Bosch Thermotechnology recalls service kits for gas boilers with silver adapters that can cause gas leaks, fire, or explosion. Affected kits were sold after Feb 2010 to owners of specific Buderus boilers.
The use of a silver-colored gas pipe adapter included in the service kit can lead to gas leakage, posing a fire or explosion hazard to consumers.
