Carrier Air Conditioner Recall
Product Safety Australia (PSA) has issued a recall coving eleven models of Carrier Ductless Hi-Wall and Cassette split system reverse cycle air conditioners. The recall, which was released on 9 October 2019, was prompted by a defect in the outdoor condensing unit.

The PSA recall states:
