Details: The Honda air conditioning settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Alin v. American Honda Motor Company, Inc., that alleges certain Honda Odyssey, Honda CR-V and Acura TSX vehicles contain problems with the air conditioning condensers or compressors. The lawsuit alleges that the Odyssey is unduly prone to damage to the condenser from road debris, and that the CR-V and TSX suffer excessive failures of compressors.
Honda denies these allegations, but has agreed to a nearly $40 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Honda air condenser/compressor class action settlement include all persons who purchased or leased (including initial and subsequent owners and lessees) a 2005-2007 Honda Odyssey, 2002-2004 Honda CR-V, or 2004 Acura TSX.
As a Class Member, you can receive one of the following benefits from the Honda air conditioning class action lawsuit settlement:
Odyssey Sub-Class: Odyssey Settlement Members may receive 100% reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses made to repair “Condenser Road Debris Damage,” where the repairs were or are performed within the original 3-year/36,000 mile warranty period. This damage is defined as damage to the condenser that was caused as a result of rocks, pebbles or other road debris striking the condenser.
Honda will also make available a screen that will protect the air conditioning condenser in Class Members’ Odyssey from road debris damage. Honda will reimburse Odyssey Sub-Class Members for the purchase price of the screen (up to $35.06) as well as reimburse $20 of the labor costs associated with installing the screen if it is purchased and professionally installed on an Odyssey Sub-Class Vehicle.
CR-V Sub-Class: CR-V Settlement Members may receive reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses they incurred within 8 years/96,000 miles from the date of purchase for “Compressor Damage,” which is defined as damage to the compressor and associated air conditioning system parts as a result of the failure of the internal components of the compressor and/or the compressor clutch.

1) Year 3/36,000 miles: 100% reimbursement

I had a compresser blow up on a 2002 crv within a year of purchase. The dealership offered to fix it for $3500! Yea, right. So I go to a supposedly good ac shop and had it fixed for $750. It didn’t last 6 months so I had it replaced on their warranty. It only lasted another 6 months. If I had kept the receipt when the recall notice came in the mail, they would only have paid 15% of 750 or $180. Whoever arranged this settlement is a shyster and doesn’t care what is fair to consumers. I believe everyone stuck with this lemon should arrange another lawsuit and make honda reimburse us all for this terrible piece of equipment in an otherwise decent car. If honda wasn’t so tight that they would admit and fix their mistakes, maybe they wouldn’t be losing a lot of their customers, including me.
On 1-4-12 I sent in my claim for charges of $546.00 I incurred on my 2003 Honda CR-V ac compressor and the inside components. I attached all documentation per request for my claim number 11047..On 9-14-12 I received a notice from you indicating..these damages incurred falls OUTSIDE THE REIMBURSEABLE REPAIR TIME PERIOD…I do not understand I should receive 100% reimbursement according to the claim form I returned to you….Please confirm you received this email and the status of my reimbursement..
On Friday August 24th, 2012 my 2004 Honda CR-V’s a/c compressor blew up and cost me 1755.00 to repair. Is it too late to get any kind of reimbursement from Honda?
