Yeah, this refer showed below was used only on electric. It is an extreme case (the worst I've seen anyhow), but it shows the potential hazard one could encounter. When I arrived at this job site, the sheet metal around the boiler was glowing red hot!

Like Chris said, the recall includes a thermal cut-off (see the last picture). This would have prevented the overheating and potential fire hazard as seen it the 1st 3 pictures.
