RECALLCHECK / EXACT MODEL BOUNDARY

Recall evidence that names the model.

ApplianceBench publishes a safety-notice page only when an official source, date, jurisdiction, remedy and bounded identity match are all present. A missing match never means an appliance is safe.

1qualified official notice
3linked model patterns
5explicit affected variants
Identity firstBrand, model pattern, suffix and product class must agree.
Serial check still requiredA model match alone does not prove that a particular unit is affected.
Separate from commerceNotices never change offer order or annual-cost estimates.
QUALITY-GATED NOTICES

Official evidence with a next action.

Coverage is intentionally smaller than the full recall universe. A notice appears here only after it intersects a qualified ApplianceBench identity without fuzzy title matching.

No unmatched model is labelled safe.

It means this bounded ApplianceBench-to-official-source check did not produce a publishable exact link. It is not a safety certificate, and it does not replace manufacturer notices or the regulator's own search.
