TYLER, Texas - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, with voluntary cooperation from Trane and American Standard, announced the recall of 2-ton through 5-ton heating and air conditioning packaged units.
The recall of 18,200 units took place because a gas leak can occur if there is a crack in the gas valve body near the inlet pipe connection. A buildup of gas in the burner compartment of the unit could occur, which could be ignited by an internal spark. Trane has received five reports of gas valve cracks, although no injuries or property damage have been reported.
