Does the PVC vent pipe need to be topped off with a rain cover ? Looks like some water can get into the furnace with these PVC flue pipes that vent straight through the roof…

So nothing out of the ordinary, then, since that 2004 recall (which I knew about) is not on horizontal furnaces (which the 2001 recall is).
For those of you doing recall research, make sure you are talking about the correct appliance type. Otherwise, you'll unnecessarily alarm everyone and look foolish after all the facts are in.
I had a Client a couple of months ago who thought my recall research was the best. Then she moved in and had her house-warming party. Mom got all upset because she remembered that General Electric had issued a recall on kitchen ranges in late 2004. Client called me, and as we were on the phone, I double-checked. Yes, GE did issue a recall in August 2004, but it was for electric coil ranges. Her range was a gas range. She was happy again. End of story.
