2010 Honda CR-V Air Conditioning Recalls: A Complete Summary

Has Honda sent out any recall notices for the 2010 Honda CR-V air conditioner?
As of August 2020, no, but owners shared a variety of related complaints, such as:
- The air conditioning does not blow as cold as usual
- Unsatisfactory AC performance
- The air conditioning system makes a lot of noise.
Fortunately, throughout this article, we will share information about the probable cause of the 2010 Honda CR-V complaints listed. You can then use what you’ve learned to find repairs and restore your air conditioning system to working order.
The air conditioning compressor clutch could wear out prematurely
NHTSA Complaint ID: 10056005
The air conditioning clutch allows the system to start and stop as necessary to maintain the set air conditioning temperature.
When the compressor needs to turn on, the clutch allows the pulley to rotate, using the power of the engine. Once the cabin reaches the correct temperature, the clutch disengages the pulley and allows the compressor to rest between each cycle.
Unfortunately, in the 2011 CR-V, the air conditioning clutch can wear out prematurely. When this happens, the system only blows hot air and often makes a lot of noise. Honda has decided to remedy this problem by extending its QUE clutch warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles.
If your air conditioner stops working, technicians can fix the problem by replacing the air conditioning clutch with a new one. They will also inspect the field coil and replace it if this part appears worn or damaged.
