The units pose a fire hazard if the outside fan blade becomes blocked while operating in heating mode. Affected units can be identified by checking the model and serial number on the air conditioner cabinet near the bar code; recalled serial numbers begin with specific letter codes that vary by brand.
Because the manufacturer is no longer in business, no repair remedy is available. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should discard the product and must not donate or resell it.
