Anonymous, OR (2011 Honda CR-V EX-L 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"During a last year's spring visit to the Honda dealership in 2019, the mechanics found the refrigerant had leaked out of the system. They refilled the system and during the fall 2019 check-up, the refrigerant had leaked out of the system. They introduced dye into the system to find out where it was coming from, but I haven't taken my vehicle back to have it rechecked since the current health situation had kicked off.
