Reason for Recall

A May 2015 design change in the cushion seal replacement part and accompanying elbow replacement part resulted in incompatibility of the new cushion seal with the previous design of the elbow. Use of the new cushion seal with the previous design elbow could lead to unacceptable CO2 porting. As there was no model number change for this design change, customers may not be aware of the incompatibility.
