Certain LiftMaster garage door control panels recalled due to potential entrapment hazard

The impacted control panels can allow the operator to unintentionally override the secondary entrapment protection system when the control panel is paired with both an external-facing keypad and a wall-mount operator, and the consumer initiates a door closing cycle using the keypad when there is an obstruction. The override can only occur when the consumer presses and releases “ENTER” a second time within 60 seconds of the initial push. As of February 3, 2023, the company has received one report of incident in Canada, and no reports of injuries. In the United States, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries.

Entrapment hazard

The impacted control panels can still be used so long as the operator uses the wireless keypad in accordance with the Owner’s Manual and does not press “ENTER” more than once on the keypad. Consumers should contact Chamberlain Group to receive a replacement control panel. Chamberlain Group will offer the repair as a kit with instructions that consumers can be completed by the consumer or a professional installer.
