2014-2017 CHEVY / GM CONDENSER WIDESPREAD FAILURE OEM 23141861, 84211191

12:51 PM 2 Comments A + a -

GM has reported that AC condensers on it's 2014-2017 Yukon, Pickup, Suburban, Tahoe and even some Cadillac Escalades are failing on a mass scale at the same time and in the same place.

The failure is due to a bad weld in the original unit.  If you have one of these vehicle and the AC is still working, brace yourself as you will be encountering an issue sooner than later.

Currently, GM dealerships have recalled all of their faulty inventory and will not have replacements in stock until after the summer.  Yes, that leaves thousands of people with new vehicles sweating it out this summer.

From what we have found out, the condensers are not being warranted through GM and if/when they get them in stock, they are charging a whopping $1,000 ea for them.

We did not realize this was a widespread issue until dealerships starting ordering bulk from us.

Due to this demand, we have been filling back orders to both retail and shop customers via RadiatorExpress.com


We have included an illustration of the item below and the applications it fits.  The issue with the GM weld has been corrected by a reinforced aluminum weld.

Is gm going to cover any out of pocket expenses for the defective condenser unit ?

no, GM does not consider defective parts to be classified for recall unless life threatening hazard. When we checked GM was doing nothing for consumers (they actually only warrantied the item for 12 months as well)

Wonder if anyone else was able to get them to take care of labor or other issues.. chime in if you had success.
