TRANE & AMERICAN STANDARD AIR CONDITIONER AND HEAT PUMP CLASS ACTION
Livingston v. Trane U.S. Inc., No. 2:17-cv-06480-ES-MAH (D.N.J.)
CSK&D reached a settlement on behalf of current and former owners of nearly 500,000 Trane and American Standard air conditioners and heat pumps that were manufactured with an unapproved rust inhibitor, which caused widespread problems with thermostatic expansion valves or “TXVs.”
The settlement provides for (1) reimbursement of past repair expenses, (2) a free chemical that can prevent future issues plus a labor allowance to inject it, and (3) extended and enhanced warranty coverage for certain units.
