Ref. No. 85-141-1
SUBJECT: RETURN OF V-5 AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSORS
MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 SKYHAWK WITH 2.0L ENGINE AND REGAL SOMERSET WITH 2.5L ENGINE
1985 Skyhawk and Regal Somerset models with the 4 cylinder engines described above and air conditioning use a new variable displacement air conditioning compressor, referred to as a V-5 compressor. This new design meets air conditioning demands without cycling the compressor clutch on and off, thus providing smoother air conditioning operation.
In the interest of product evaluation, Harrison Radiator Division is requesting that any repairs to the V-5 compressor be limited to the replacement and return of the compressor assembly. This return program will be in effect until September 1, 1985. The part numbers of the compressors involved in this program are as follows:
Model Part No.
Skyhawk 12322147
Regal Somerset 12322146
These compressors are to be returned to Harrison Radiator Division and MUST be tagged with the V.I. number, mileage, reason for replacement, and any other information that may be beneficial to the evaluation (a copy of the repair order, etc.). For your convenience, a return label is packaged with all replacement compressors to return the failed units to:
Harrison Radiator Division Moraine Plant, Dock 32 36 Dryden Road Moraine, OH 45439
Attn: Quality Assurance
Parts Managers should be advised of this procedure to facilitate this product evaluation program.
