Concern

SRT372 Electric Compressor on 2023MY–2025MY Solterra

Defect, as DVSA words it

Due to the programming of the HVAC control ECU software under certain conditions such as a specific failure mode of the electric compressor the HVAC system will enter a failsafe mode that suspends the heater operation of the system and affects defroster function. In some cases when the vehicle is operated in certain low temperatures the defrosting performance reduces and may not remove frost ice and/or fog from the windshield glass. This can reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Update the HVAC control ECU software.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
