What happened

Trane Company and the CPSC are recalling certain Voyager series light commercial rooftop air conditioning systems installed in schools and commercial buildings. One of the three internal flue gas tubes in these units can separate from the heat exchanger, allowing flue gases including carbon monoxide to enter the building's airstream, which could cause serious injury or death. The recalled units were manufactured between June 1, 2000 and August 16, 2000, have serial numbers beginning with R21 through R33, and include various model numbers such as YCD036C1H, YCD060CWH, YCD048C1H, YCH060C1H, YCH048C1H, YCH060C3H, YCD060C1H, YCH060C4H, YCD060C3H, and YCD060C4H. You can locate your unit's model and serial number on the nameplate on the outside sheet metal at the end of the unit where the propeller fan is visible on top, directly to the left of the exposed outdoor coils.

Consumers with recalled units should call their local independent Trane or American Standard dealer to arrange a free inspection and replacement if needed. Trane will completely replace the heat exchanger end plate and internal flue gas tube assemblies in all recalled units at no cost to the consumer.
