When Are Recalls Issued?

A recall is issued by a company or manufacturer when it has been determined that there is an unreasonable safety risk or when something fails to meet the minimum safety requirements. This is why it is so important to identify recalls that affect you and your family. When recalls are issued that affect you, you are entitled to a refund, repairs, or replacement. Failure of an automobile's air conditioning is not considered a safety risk or hazard to consumers and will not result in a recall being issued.

Is There a Recall of the Honda CRV?

Honda CRV owners have been reporting issues relating to air conditioner condenser failure. Honda extends a 3 year or 36,000-mile warranty for all Honda air conditioner units. Consumers complain that the condenser is failing just after their warranty has run out. The amount of complaints lodged has prompted Honda to extend the warranty covering air conditioner condensers on the Civic to a 10-year warranty, but no extension has been issued yet for other Honda models.

Can You Receive Replacement or Repairs With No Recall?

The warranty extension for the Civic states that the condensers are not manufactured to specification. This results in holes and corrosion developing which causes the coolant to leak out. Complaints from consumers indicate CRV and many other models are affected by the same issues. If you experience similar issues, you may be entitled to a warranty extension as well.

How Can You Request Free Repairs From Honda on Your Own?

These are the steps you should take if you are experiencing air conditioner problems in your Honda. You may be able to receive repairs at no charge.

1. Take your vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer for service.
2. Ask if you are able to receive repairs under the extended warranty.
3. If the dealership can not perform repairs under the warranty, you should contact Honda by calling the Honda owner hotline at 1(800)999-1009.
4. Ask about technical service bulletins relating to your vehicle.
5. If none are available, ask if Honda can cover the cost of the repairs needed.

Steps You Should Take if Repairs Are Not Free

If Honda will not pay for repairs, these are the recommended steps for you to take to get your vehicle repaired.

1. Take your vehicle to an independent repair shop because repairs will cost less.
2. Retain all documentation and receipts for your repairs. This information can be used to claim reimbursement if a class action suit is filed.
