HI All,

I am new to forum and hope to get an answer for my problem. I am sorry if someone already post this.

Bought a car a year ago with 160000km and changed timing belt, transmission oil, etc... The car run great and love the car. Now the car has 200000km. I used to own MDX and has transmission problem and drink too much gas.

Recently I got 2 recall regarding LCA and wiper something. I haven't had any time to make an appointment with dealer beside I have replaced both of my LCA before I got the letter. I am not sure if I can get the money back for my LCA.

There is an other problem with my blower. it is the same sound as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydp0MVITmb0

I started to search and found that NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V233000 recalled blower from year 2009 and up. I am not sure why 2008 is not included. Transport Canada also had this Recall # 2015166.
I contacted my dealer yesterday and ask about my blower and he said my car is not in the list. Oh well since mine is 2008, so i didn't say much. I start going though NHTSA and checked all related document regarding this recall and found this document https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/201...5V233-9302.pdf. The defective part number is CSA431D214 so I went to my car and check and see that my blower part number is CSA431D214. I have the defective part number in my car.

1. I wonder does anyone with outlander 2008 has the same defective blower like mine?
2. What should I do and why is 2008 Outlander not in the recall list?


Thank you

 

I fought with my blower motor years ago on my '07. not sure why '07 & '08 weren't in the recall, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

The first time mine died, I pulled it completely apart and tried to lubricate it...that worked for about a year. I then tried to buy an aftermarket...that was a really bad idea as well...lots of whining noises. I ended up buying one from the dealer...has worked for years now. I know they are a bit salty, but they work as they should.

They are also incredibly easy to replace. I have a thread on it from years ago.

I hadn't heard of the LCA recall, but there is a crossmember recall out there. I too had to replace my LCAs...the rear bushing on the passenger side slipped out and was rubbing on the frame. Fortunately, aftermarket has really come down in prices.

 

Thank you for your respond.

LCA: NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V458000

Are you still using the old blower or did you use the after market one? I found some on ebay and thinking to buy.

 

I returned the aftermarket one...I put one in I got from the dealer.
