American Honda is extending the warranty on the A/C compressor shaft seal from the original 3 years to 10 years from the original date of purchase, with no mileage limitation. The new refrigerant and oil may cause swelling of the compressor shaft seal. The swelling may lead to abnormal wearing of the seal which may increase seal gaps around the compressor shaft allowing refrigerant to leak out.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10243739-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10243739-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10243739","components":[{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null},{"id":"hvac","name":"Heating and air conditioning","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"HONDA","model":"CR-V","year_from":2017,"year_to":2022,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_honda_cr-v","2018_honda_cr-v","2019_honda_cr-v","2020_honda_cr-v","2021_honda_cr-v","2022_honda_cr-v"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
