What NHTSA recorded
An insufficient number of attachment screws may have been used to secure the shelf that supports furnace. The shelf may settle or collapse under the weight of the furnace. This would, in turn, dislodge the furnace exhaust pipe.
Remedy
The dealer will install adequate shelf attachment screws at no cost to the owner.
