(1/20/00)
A parts supplier for the R8184
Intermittent Oil Primary Control has notified Honeywell's manufacturing management that
one of the components may fail if exposed to electrical noise and electrostatic discharge.
The failure of the component may result in a potential chattering relay. This potential
failure is not a safety-related issue. Affected date codes are 9740 to 9922.

in the nuisance category.

are exchanging their inventory with new product.
If you have a unit exhibiting a chattering relay, we ask that you call
the following number: 1-800-328-8194, Honeywell's Customer Response Center. We will
arrange for two new R8184's to be sent to your attention for each unit returned. We will
FAX or mail you paperwork to accompany the defective unit and advise where to send
it.
Effective immediately, all Honeywell R8184's will have a two-year
warranty.
