Recall Information Record: VESTA.DS VST Brand Tankless Water Heaters

Recall Summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in coordination with VESTA.DS, Inc., issued a recall on October 16, 2025 (Recall Number 26026) for VST brand gas-fired tankless water heaters. The recall involves approximately 36,700 units sold in the United States and an additional 3,500 units sold in Canada. The imported product was manufactured in South Korea and distributed by VESTA.DS, Inc., of Ontario, California.

Affected Products

The recalled products are VST-brand gas-fired tankless water heaters. Although the recall description initially references “wall-mounted gas boilers,” the official product listing identifies the following models: VRS-150, VRS-199, VRP-150, VRP-199, VRS Plus-150, VRS Plus-199, VRP Plus-150, VRP Plus-199, VTS-150, VTS-199, VTP-150, and VTP-199. The water heaters are metal, rectangular units. The white label on the side of the unit displays the model number in bold near the top. Units have either “VST” printed in white on the control panel near the bottom, or “VESTA.DS.Inc.” printed in gray near the top of the panel.

These products were sold in-store and online at Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Nebraska Furniture, and ABT stores nationwide, as well as online at nordictrack.com and Amazon.com from November 2018 through April 2022 for approximately $1,700.

Hazard Information

The exhaust duct on the recalled water heaters can crack, allowing exhaust gases to escape inside the home. This poses a carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hazard that can result in death or serious injury. The firm has received 33 reports of cracked exhaust ducts allowing exhaust fumes to leak out. No injuries have been reported.

Consumer Action Required

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water heater and contact VESTA.DS to have a certified technician install the free repair. For consumers who must continue using the water heater while awaiting repair, CPSC advises having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed in the home.

Official Remedy

The official remedy is a free repair. VESTA.DS will arrange for a certified technician to inspect and repair the recalled water heater at no cost to the consumer.
