Filed Apr 3, 2022WA

The Truma water heater made loud booming noises when igniting. Upon inspection fire and flames were shooting out of the firebox and engulfing the controls. We shut down the unit by turning off the power switch. We had a new unit shipped to our location and installed by a technician. The old unit was shipped back directly to Truma for inspection . We have yet to hear back from Truma on the status of that investigation. This incident occurred in early January 2022.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
