Daikin, Amana, and Goodman Heat Pumps Recalled for Excessive Heat Risk

Daikin Comfort Technologies is recalling about 56,000 Daikin FIT, Amana Brand S-series, and Goodman SD heat pumps due to a power interruption defect that can cause the units to provide heat even when the thermostat is set to cooling mode, posing a risk of excessive heat exposure.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states "None reported" for injuries. The hazard is a theoretical risk of excessive heat exposure from a defect condition, with no documented instances of harm. This qualifies as a low-risk, voluntary precautionary recall.
