CPSC has announced two recalls of Trane and American Standard heating products. The July 2025 recall covers gas/electric packaged units that pose a gas leak and fire risk. The 2015 recall covers accessory electric heaters that can overheat.
No injury lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over either recall. The CPSC reports no injuries in either case. Trane U.S. Inc. announced both recalls with the agency.
If you own an affected unit, stop using its heating function and contact a Trane dealer. For the 2025 units the remedy is a free ignition board repair, and for the 2015 heaters it is a replacement.
Latest Trane Electric Unit Heater Lawsuit Updates
July 3, 2025: CPSC Recalls Gas/Electric Packaged Units
On July 3, 2025, the CPSC announced recall 25-369 of about 4,790 Trane and American Standard gas/electric packaged units [1]. The fuel gas valve can open unexpectedly, allowing a gas leak and posing a fire hazard.
Trane U.S. Inc. offers owners a free ignition board replacement. The notice is a fast-track recall with a repair remedy.
August 14, 2015: CPSC Recalls Accessory Electric Heaters
On August 14, 2015, the CPSC announced recall 15-746 of about 3,900 Trane and American Standard accessory electric heaters in air handlers [2].
Heaters installed with reverse polarity on one of the breakers can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The remedy is replacement of the heater, and Trane U.S. Inc. was the importer.
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of a Trane or American Standard two-stage gas/electric packaged unit may be affected. These units were sold at HVAC distributors and dealers nationwide from January 2024 through March 2025 for between $8,250 and $12,900.
The recalled models are 4YCZ5024F1060A, 4YCZ5036F1070A, 4YCZ5036F1090A, 4YCZ5048E1090A and 4YCZ5048E1115A. The model number and serial range must match the CPSC list.
Owners of a Trane or American Standard electric accessory heater, model BAYEVBC15BK1BAA or BAYEVCC25BK1BAA, may also be affected. These heaters were made between November 2014 and March 2015.
They were installed in a TAM7 or TAM8 air handler. Whether anyone has a legal claim depends on an individual legal review.
Reported Injuries or Damages
No injury lawsuit alleges harm from these products. The recalls are CPSC actions announced with Trane U.S. Inc., and they are not court findings.
For the 2025 units, Trane U.S. Inc. received one report of gas leaking from the recalled two-stage gas furnace/air conditioners. No injuries were reported.
For the 2015 heaters, Trane U.S. Inc. received 10 reports of the heaters tripping circuit breakers. One report involved heat-related damage to the unit. No injuries were reported. Reports are not proof that the products caused every incident.
Recall and Regulatory Background
Trane says 2025 unit owners should contact the installing dealer for a free inspection and ignition board repair [3]. A recall does not by itself prove liability.
For the 2015 heaters, switch the system to cooling mode or off and contact a Trane or American Standard independent dealer. Cooling may still be used.
Phone lines: 800-889-0129 (2025 units, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET) and 844-866-8429 (2015 heaters, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT).
Evidence to Preserve
If you own a recalled unit or had a loss tied to one, keep these items:
- The model and serial number from the back of the unit or the air handler nameplate
- Your purchase or installation invoice and the dealer’s name
- Photographs of any damage
- Records of dealer or Trane contacts about the recall repair
- Repair and inspection records
- Fire, utility or medical records tied to an incident
- The failed ignition board or heater, if it is replaced
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines for injury or property-damage claims are set by state law. They depend on where you live and when the fire, gas leak or damage happened.
Even strong facts may not save a claim that is filed after its deadline. Speaking with a lawyer promptly helps protect your option to file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is There a Trane Class Action Lawsuit?
There is a Trane class action, but it is not about heater safety. In March 2026, Berg v. Robert Bosch, LLC alleged in Michigan federal court that seven HVAC makers, including Trane, conspired to raise prices. Trane disputes the allegations.
Who Brought the Second Trane Price-Fixing Suit?
The second Trane price-fixing suit was brought by HVAC contractor Richard Isom in Michigan federal court in April 2026. It seeks class status for middlemen who buy from the manufacturers and makes similar allegations against the same seven manufacturers.
Is There a Recall on Trane Electric Unit Heaters?
CPSC lists no recall of a Trane electric unit heater, but it names two recalls. The 2025 packaged units were made by Trane U.S. Inc. of Davidson, North Carolina. Trane U.S. Inc. of Tyler, Texas, was the importer of the 2015 accessory heaters.
How Much Did the Recalled Trane Accessory Heaters Cost?
The recalled Trane accessory heaters were sold for about $120. They were sold from January 2015 to April 2015. They came as add-on parts for air handlers rather than as stand-alone unit heaters.
