Thanks Steelslinger, I can't see any drain hose coming of the bottom of that condenser box....just see water flowing out the sides over the lip!  Any one else have a lead/clue?

Dealer says there's now a service bulletin on this leaking water all over the cab from the AC and they (canam) pay them 15 mins! to fix the drain....says theres a drain that's difficult to see and could be plugged or missing hose or ......will take it in at first service and see!

Your not alone on this issue. I purchased a Can Am Defender Limited in January of this year. My AC has not worked since that time. My first indication was the compressor cycling on and off and then an error code, triangle with exclamation mark, blinking on the display. The local dealer told me to take to an automotive shop and check the freon.  I had it checked by my personal mechanic and the freon was low. He also found the low side fitting leaking. None of this has solved my issue though. I took it to the Can Am dealer yesterday and they said they might get to it in a month. This is my first Can Am and my last. The other issue is no one knows how to work on these things. I'm really missing my Yamaha Viking.

I’m having the same issues with the AC. 2021 Defender limited with about 5 hrs. on it. Does anyone know what refrigerant is in the system? Is it R134?

I just saw the sticker under the hood for R134 so I know the answer to my previous post. I just had an AC guy check my system. It was flat out empty, no freon. Does anyone know how many pounds or ounces the system takes? Mine is a crew cab whether that makes a difference or not. Thanks in advance. 

 

[Beaudog]

The system takes 18 ounces of R134.

Put freon in and the AC worked for about one day. It cooled great when we took it for a drive for about an hour. Then today just blower air then the warning triangle after about two minutes. Obviously there is a leak somewhere. I hope it's not so small it is hard to locate. Calling the dealer tomorrow.

Brand new 2023 Lonestar leaking water all over the floor from the A/C drain. Has anyone found the solution? Tried clearing with nitrogen. 100% pinched or plugged somewhere.
