Chicago, IL – Homeowners across Illinois and the Midwest are being urged to check their heating and cooling systems after Trane U.S. Inc. announced a recall of thousands of gas/electric packaged units due to a risk of gas leaks and potential fire hazards.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall was issued on July 3, 2025, after the company received at least one report of a gas leak from the affected units, which are sold under the Trane and American Standard brand names. The recall affects approximately 4,790 units distributed nationwide through HVAC dealers between January 2024 and March 2025, with prices ranging from $8,250 to $12,900.
The CPSC stated that the issue stems from a faulty fuel gas valve that can open unexpectedly, allowing gas to escape and increasing the risk of fire. While no injuries have been reported, consumers are being told to immediately stop using the heating mode on the recalled units and contact their installing dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The recall involves five different models, with serial numbers ranging from 24061381FA to 24453189FA. Impacted consumers can find the model and serial numbers on the back of the unit. For assistance, Trane customers can locate their nearest dealer at trane.com, while American Standard customers should visit americanstandardair.com.
Units included in this recall were manufactured in Mexico and distributed by Trane U.S. Inc. out of Davidson, North Carolina. Anyone experiencing issues with their recall remedy or having trouble reaching their dealer can file a complaint with the CPSC.
