TPS54201: Transient protection with a TEC H-bridge output

Part Number: TPS54201

Hi all.  I have implemented a similar H-bridge driven bidirectional current control for a TEC.  I am wondering if it is necessary to provide a catch diode around the inductor or other transient protection for the TPS part in the event the H-bridge is shut off, or the load is disconnected while the TPS is supplying current.  I have lost a couple of parts while testing this arrangement, and I was wondering about this possibility as my problem.
