What happened

Lennox Industries has recalled certain ductless heat pumps because internal electrical components can fail and cause the units to overheat, creating a fire hazard. The recall affects three specific models: MPA018S4M-1P, MPA048S4S-1P, and MPA048S4M-1P, but only units with serial numbers beginning in 6915 or 6916 are included. Consumers can identify whether their unit is affected by checking the model and serial number on the nameplate located on the side of the outdoor unit.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately contact their installing servicer, dealer, or contractor to arrange for a free replacement of the outdoor unit. Until the replacement is completed, consumers should monitor the heat pump while it operates and maintain at least 24 inches of clearance around the unit by removing foliage and other flammable items. Lennox is notifying all known independent dealers directly, and these dealers will contact consumers to arrange for removal of the recalled units and installation of replacement units.
