WASHINGTON — About 33,000 Sears canister vacuum cleaners are being recalled because of a potential wiring problem, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.
The recall involves Sears Kenmore vacuum cleaners sold between Nov. 1, 1986, and May 1 of this year, the agency said. The model numbers are 116.2643581, 116.2643583 and 116.2645082.
The company is recalling the machines to check the wiring. If it was installed incorrectly, it could result in an electrical short, possibly causing the cleaner hose to catch fire, the safety agency said.
