I can only hope that this is resolved in a much more timely and professional manner than the Surburban HWS recall, but not very optimistic!

Thanks Bobdown. I have a Swift 500 series (503 - 3xburners, hotplate and grill) and was unaware of the safety issue until now. I will not use until checking is done, as advised by Swift.

Latest info from Swift Appliances website.

Interesting that the cooktop models identified are in a limited date range and do not include those with 4 gas burners.
