Description of the problem	My 2004 honda cr-v's air conditioning stopped working on the afternoon of 9/24/10. The air blowing out seemed to be warm. I made an appointment at a local service station to inspect the a/c for the following morning, 9/25/10. The mechanic removed the lower panel a/c compressor and showed me a hole that was caused by the a/c compressor "exploding" outward. There were a few metal shard pieces left in the plastic panel that covers that area of the vehicle. The mechanic said that he had heard of this happening but had never seen it. According to the mechanic, his parts supplier said that they hear of this often. Both believe there is a manufacturing issue with the compressors. Due to the way that the a/c system in the honda is set up, the entire thing needed to be replaced. Fortunately my mechanic was generous with his costs and labor charges. It cost $1313. 52 to fix. I checked online for a recall and called honda america. There is no current recall but i found an online discussion thread with better than 900 comments of folks who all had similar issues with their honda cr-v a/c compressors. Ihttp://www. Topix. Com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tu0okfjgv9v3f3fgl/p49 it appears that the dealerships are charging around $3000 to fix this issue. I should mention that i had purchased an extended warranty but my car has 160,000 miles on it. This issue seems to occur at various mileages. In some cases, the metal shards that blow off of the compressor can either slice into the tires or make a hole in the oil pan. I guess i was "lucky" it didn't do more damage.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
