I posted last spring about my defender max ac not working. I picked it up in May and ac never worked and the little triangle blinks. I believe it’s a warning of a freon leak. Here it is almost Oct. and am still without AC. Dealer is trying hard but very little response from Can am. first they tried a sensor , that didn’t do anything. Then they discovered no freon in system. After 3 weeks of waiting they got parts and replace the seal on compressor. That lasted a week and cooling stopped. Took it back and same seal was leaking, they now think it is the plate or something next to the seal isn’t right. The dealer contacted Brp to see what they wanted to do next , I was hoping my dealer would here back right away, but it took weeks for them to get answers and now waiting for parts. So summer is over and I spent big bucks to stay cool and ride, that didn’t happen. Unfortunately for me it is a 3 hour one way to the dealer so pretty much a all day trip and another day to go pick up my defender every time they have it ready . I am disappointed in Brp that they haven’t came forward and had a recall or at least helped dealers in what is going on. This apparently has been a wide spread fault from the day they rolled into dealerships starting last fall..

I purchased a defender max limited last spring, the AC has never worked, just a little triangle flashing. My neighbor bought the exact same model, his ac worked for a couple months and quite. I have been working with the dealer all summer, First they thought sensor, then the seal on compressor was discovered to be bad. Replaced that and it last two weeks and not cooling again. Took it back and seal out again , so they have been trying to get answers from Can Am before they do any more work. It has been taking forever to get a response back to the dealer from Can Am. It is now late Sept and I have went all summer without AC that I purchased the Limited to get AC. Still waiting for parts or answers from the factory. I been reading that there has been a lots of problems with Can Ams new AC’s in 2020. They should have a recall but haven’t heard of one yet!

I have the same problem. Can’t adjust it to fill in gap, almost like the hinge is bent or the roof frame is not right

Ok on the AC problem some of us are having. I may have a solution. As I mentioned before I learned all the controls tried ever thing to figure it out. Being a very long ways from dealer, I was unable to run it in for service . my dealer did research from BRP and it seems like they are having a problem with the AC sensor that is next to the compressor. Very easy to see when you lift the box. Means I was to far away to come in and have the codes read, they told me to unplug the 2 wire harness that connects to to sensor. The sensor is on the smaller ac pipe,, only one there. Just squeeze the wire connector to release and pull the wires off! once off they told be to put a small jumper wire in the wire connector to bi-pass the sensor. i did so and started up the defender and turned on the AC , . The AV worked and no blinking triangle. The dealer is mailing me a new sensor to install and is suppose to fix it. They said BRP thinks they got a bad batch of sensors. Hope this Info helps you others having troubles.

I must have the same problem , my blinking triangle starts in about 2 minutes after I turn the a/c on. Yours was low on Freon , so I bet that is my problem with only 300 miles on it. I am a long ways from my dealer so will call them tomorrow and post back what I get told !

AC problem! We just bought a 2020 defender limited and have just about 300 miles on it, breaking it in. We have learned all the different climate control settings and know how to use them. we noticed the AC wasn’t cooling and there is a little yellow triangle blinking in the climate display. We have tried everything and a couple minutes after turning on the AC the tiny blinking triangle shows up and no cooling. Called the dealer and they really know why. the fan runs in all positions and we now noticed the heat does heat up either. anyone have any ideas .
