HVAC equipment recalls don't get the attention that car or food recalls get, but they happen regularly and can affect homes for years before owners hear about them. Here are the three currently-active recalls that matter most for South Bay homeowners as of April 2026, plus how to check whether your system is affected.
1. Goodman / Daikin furnace control board recall (2024-2026)
Goodman and Amana gas furnaces with specific control board model numbers manufactured between mid-2018 and late-2021 have been recalled due to a board failure that can prevent the safety high-limit switch from operating properly. The risk is overheating and (rarely) fire.
Affected model series:
- Goodman GMSS / GMS80 / GMSS920 (specific date codes)
- Amana AMS80 / AMSS80 (specific date codes)
- Some Daikin DM80 series
How to check: Look for the model and serial number on the rating plate (usually inside the front access panel). Call Daikin/Goodman customer service at 1-877-254-4729 or check at goodman.com/recall. The fix is a free replacement control board.
If you've got a Goodman or Amana furnace from this period and you've noticed any high-limit trips this winter (system shuts off mid-cycle, then restarts), get the recall check done.
2. Carrier / Bryant heat pump capacitor recall (2025)
A subset of Carrier and Bryant heat pumps installed between January 2023 and June 2024 received capacitors from a third-party supplier that have failed at higher-than-expected rates, causing premature compressor short-cycling and (in rare cases) compressor damage.
This isn't a safety recall, but it's worth knowing if your system was installed during that window. Carrier is replacing capacitors free of charge for affected systems.
How to check: Carrier model number starting with 25VNA or Bryant 226A, with serial dates in the affected range. Call Carrier customer support or check with the original installer.
3. LG mini-split inverter board (ongoing)
LG has had ongoing reliability issues with the inverter control board on certain mini-split outdoor units manufactured 2018-2022. While not a formal “recall” in the regulatory sense, LG has extended the warranty on affected boards to 10 years for documented installations.
If you've got an LG mini-split and it's been showing E1, E5, or P1 error codes intermittently, it's worth filing for the extended warranty before a hard failure.
What to do if your equipment is affected
- Document the model and serial. Photograph the rating plate (it's usually inside the access panel of the indoor or outdoor unit).
- Call the manufacturer's recall line directly. They'll verify whether your specific serial number is in the affected range. Don't take an installer's word for it.
- Schedule the free repair. Manufacturer-authorized service techs do the work at no cost to you. If the manufacturer wants to schedule you with the original installer and that company is no longer responsive, request a different authorized contractor.
- Save the documentation. Recall repair records matter at home sale and for warranty continuity.
How I handle this for my customers
If I'm out on a service call and your equipment falls under any active recall, I'll tell you, document it on the service ticket, and help you get the recall repair scheduled with the manufacturer's authorized network. I don't do paid “recall fixes” — that's something the manufacturer covers, period. Anyone trying to charge you for a recall repair is misleading you.
If you want me to verify whether your system is affected by any active recall, text me the model number and serial at (866) 982-3652 and I'll check it against the current recall lists in about 10 minutes.
