Replaced compressor While on vacation, it 'blew up' ... cracked down the side and a piece fell out while being replaced ( with after-market ) compressor. Honda has many instances of this happening to different year CR-Vs, but to my knowledge have not sent a 'warning' letter or done a recall. But, in talking to other owners face to face not all have had the same problem. Just a note to keep in mind if you own a CR-V. |
