- [APaS09142020](/bulletins/10180015.md), 2020-09-22, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:COMPRESSOR; EQUIPMENT. Dealer Message \- We've noticed an unprecedented demand for A/C compressors which at times has created a backorder situation. The majority of the compressors returned were analyzed and proven leak free. As you are aware, there is Warranty Extension for Civic Condensers \(Service Bulletin 19\-091\) for a leak problem. This bulletin provides detailed information on how to use the Bosch ROBLD020 Dual Mode Refrigerant Gas Leak Detector which should be used to confirm a leak at the compressor.
