Daikin issues second Amana recall
6th September 2026
USA/CANADA: Daikin Comfort Technologies has issued a further recall of certain models in its Amana range of window and through-the-wall air conditioners due to risk of serious injury from fire.
On 3 September, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada announced the recall of Amana through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps. This followed a previous recall notice issued on 25 June regarding models in its range of both window and through the wall units.
The two recalls involved different models and different fire safety issues.
In total, around 18,000 products are involved. In both cases the units were manufactured in India.
The recall in June involved concerns that the heating element on the units could remain energised during a ground fault, despite being turned off. It affects about 13,514 units sold in the USA and around 53 sold in Canada from April to the end of December 2025. The units use R32 refrigerant.
Daikin Comfort Technologies is said to have received one report of plastic on the unit melting, but no injuries were reported.
This month’s recall involves separate models in the Amana range of through-the-wall air conditioners and heat pumps sold through direct sales and distribution customers from April 2025 to the end of June 2026.
The recall was issued after it was found that the snubber circuit could emit flames in the event of a short. Daikin is said to have received reports of two such incidents No injuries have been recorded. Around 4,633 in the USA and an additional 126 sold in Canada are said to be affected.
In both recall cases, Daikin Comfort Technologies is offering a full refund.
In 2023, Daikin recalled over 60,000 US-manufactured Amana-brand packaged terminal air conditioners/heat pumps (PTACs) in the USA and Canada due to fire concerns. It subsequently agreed to pay an $8.5m civil penalty for failing to immediately report that the units could overheat. It was claimed that Daikin had received multiple warranty claims between 2017 and 2023, relating to the PTACs, over a dozen reports of fires, and one report of a smoke inhalation injury.
