American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) is currently conducting an investigation into a specific issue affecting the air conditioning systems of certain 2024-2026 Honda Civic, CR-V, and HR-V models. The primary concern is an "A/C Compressor Seizure" condition, which results in the A/C system not blowing cold air.
This initiative, identified as "RE: 2024-2026 Civic, CR-V & HR-V A/C Compressor Seizure (ACTION REQUIRED)", aims to gather more information. Honda wants to inspect affected vehicles to better understand the root cause of the problem before any repair attempts are made.
What Honda is Investigating
Honda is specifically looking for vehicles where the A/C system is not blowing cold air and a technician has confirmed that the A/C compressor is seized. The goal is to thoroughly examine these vehicles in their as-is condition to pinpoint why the compressor is failing. This proactive approach helps ensure a comprehensive understanding of the issue.
Important Warnings for Owners
Owners of qualifying vehicles should be aware of specific conditions that could disqualify their vehicle from this investigation. It is critical that no repair attempts are made on the A/C system before Honda's inspection. This includes any refrigerant work or component replacement. Hybrid Civic and Hybrid CR-V models are specifically excluded from this investigation, even if they exhibit the "A/C Compressor Seizure" symptom. Ensuring these conditions are met is vital for the vehicle to be accepted into the program.
What to do if your vehicle qualifies
If your 2024-2026 Honda Civic, CR-V, or HR-V meets all the specified qualifiers for the A/C compressor seizure issue, your dealership should contact Honda's Technical Information & Support (TIS) group. They can be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at 800-880-1072 (Monday-Friday, 6am-5pm PST).
When contacting TIS, the dealership will need to provide specific information in an email. The email title should include the Model Year, Model Name, the issue (e.g., "A/C Compressor Seizure"), and the VIN. The email body requires the Dealer Name & Number, Dealer City & State, your name, best phone number, current mileage, confirmation that the vehicle meets all qualifiers #1-#9, and the DPTS #. This process ensures that all necessary details regarding the Honda A/C compressor seizure are accurately captured for the investigation.
