It's important to note that Honda will send a notification by mail if a vehicle is affected.
If you own a 2022 Honda CR-V and experience AC cooling issues, it's advisable to proactively contact the dealership to address the issue. By verifying eligibility for the extended warranty and having the AC compressor shaft seal inspected, you can ensure that your vehicle's cooling system is functioning optimally.
