Consumers should not attempt to open the outside electrical panel of the recalled air conditioning and heat pump units, and immediately contact Daikin Comfort Technologies Manufacturing L.P. (DCT) for a free repair and inspection. DCT is contacting all known purchasers directly.

A power interruption in the heat pump can result in the product providing heat when the power resumes, despite the thermostat being in cooling mode, posing a risk of excessive heat exposure to consumers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.

The make should be pretty easy to figure out. Normally they have a logo prominently placed. If not, it can be found on the label pretty easily. The model is designated as a field on the label and is easy to identify. Each manufacturer categorizes their equipment differently. Some like Trane encode the efficiency of the equipment in the model, others do not. You can look up the model of your equipment, its features and efficiency using the model and make on the label and Google.

The age is generally encoded into the serial number. Many manufacturers do it differently and most have changed the way they do it over the years. Below are the most popular brands and how they encode the year within the last 20 years or so. For older equipment Google can be pretty helpful.
