What is the recall on Subaru air compressors?

I couldn’t find any specific information about a recall on Subaru air compressors. It’s possible that there may have been recalls or issues related to air compressors in specific Subaru models, but without more specific information, it’s difficult to provide a definitive answer. If you have a specific Subaru model in mind, I recommend contacting Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614 for more information on any recalls or safety concerns related to air compressors in that particular model.

Why is my Subaru AC only cold when driving?

FAULTY CONDENSER FANS
Defected condenser fans can be among the major causes when air conditioning only works when driving. Condenser fans help reduce the refrigerant’s temperature to ensure it condenses. Malfunctions in condenser fans can prevent this from happening.

How do I know if my AC compressor is under warranty?

The easiest way to double-check this is to head over to the manufacturer’s website and input the serial number for your unit. The information should pop right up. If it doesn’t, you may also have accidentally voided the warranty if you failed to register your machine when you had it installed.

Why is my AC not blowing cold air in my Subaru?

The first possibility is that there is a refrigerant leak. The leak may be found in the evaporator, condenser or hose in which case you should bring your car to a mechanic to be repaired. Another reason that your air conditioner may not be blowing cool air is because the compressor has gone bad.

Can you drive a car with a bad AC compressor?

It’s not a good idea to drive with a broken A/C compressor. While you can sometimes drive your vehicle with a broken A/C compressor without needing expensive repairs, it’s not wise. When these integral parts of your car’s air conditioning system break, that can cause greater damage to your engine and even your health.

Why did my Subaru AC suddenly stop working?

The air conditioner will likely stop working altogether if it has a refrigerant leak. Leaks can impact the air conditioner’s cooling ability over time. A Subaru’s engine relies on refrigerant, which absorbs heat, converts it into a gas, and then releases it as a liquid as it transforms back into a gas again.

What is the recall on air conditioner compressors?

The recall affects Amana-branded Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps (PTACs) assembled with “DigiAir” modules. These DigiAir modules are factory-installed with air systems that have configurable dehumidification. The DigiAir module compressor can overheat which creates burn and fire hazards, CPSC said.

How do I know if my Subaru AC compressor is bad?

Common Signs of a Failing Subaru AC Air Compressor

How do I know if my compressor is under warranty?

If you don’t have any or much information on the air conditioning unit or its installation, find the serial number on your air conditioning unit and make note of the model, call the company or distributor local to you and they may be able to help you determine if your unit is still under warranty.

What is the life expectancy of a car AC compressor?

between 10 and 12 years
Although the average lifespan of a car AC compressor is between 10 and 12 years, the compressor clutch could fail earlier than that. Unfortunately, a failed clutch means you need a whole new compressor—they’re inseparable.

Would an air compressor replacement be covered under warranty?

Most air conditioners have a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. Your AC compressor is likely still covered if your system is younger than that. The warranty should cover the cost if your AC is otherwise in working order and likely to last a few more years. However, you’ll still pay your HVAC contractor for labor.
