Thanks Jimmy for the link. This post was meant to remind Clarke and inform Todd as well as others.
The problem with at least the Square D Heaters is a Rubber Grommet that is used as a Fan Bushing. Go Figure right Rubber Bushings on a Heater! anyway the Fan fails and then the Heater Coils runaway and scorches the surrounding furniture or wiring. The one out of the Tank Bay had an intermittent Fan Failure and the Insulation above the Fan was Scorched just as the Recall states, so these WILL FAIL at some point!
PS that link didn't work as posted but what model did you use?
