Acura Recalls 2014-2015 MDX Models For AC Compressors That Fall Apart

Owners of certain 2014-2015 model year Acura MDX and MDX AWD will have to take a trip back to the dealers in order to get the AC problem solved. According to the NHTSA, affected vehicles may not have received the anti-corrosion coating on the AC compressor clutch drive bolts and this may corrode and break.

“The affected vehicles have air conditioning compressor clutch drive bolts that may not have received the proper anti-corrosion coating. If a bolt was not coated, it may corrode and break as a result. If the bolt breaks, the compressor clutch plate may separate from the vehicle, possibly becoming a road hazard”, says the NHTSA in its recall summary and consequence of the problem.

Not sure if Acura and Honda share the same AC Compressor supplier (but we can assume they do) but both my Civic I had in HS and the Accord I had in college their AC compressors failed and had to be replaced. Same goes for my mom's Accord. Time to change suppliers?
