Why Subaru crossovers began to break air conditioners en masse

Subaru suspended official deliveries of new cars to Russia last year, but it continues to honor its warranty obligations and issue recalls. And here’s another: the Japanese invite owners of Forester crossovers who have problems with the air conditioning system to repair.

It turned out that the Subaru Forester can depressurize the condenser of the air conditioner, which will lead to a refrigerant leak and, as a result, to shut down the system. But, of course, this does not apply to all Lesnikovs, but only to those sold in 2016-2018. A total of 2,780 crossovers sold by Russian dealers during this period are subject to the recall.

Owners of potentially faulty vehicles are advised to contact an “official”, check for an “open” service campaign and, if necessary, sign up for repairs. Employees of the auto center “punch” the catalog number of the capacitor, and if it turns out that it needs to be replaced, they wave it to a new, modified one. Of course, the car owner does not have to pay for work or spare parts.
