Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712297 is built for HVAC systems that use an actuator to move the recirculation door and regulate cabin air intake. In vehicles such as the 2007-2015 Ford Edge, 2009-2014 Acura TSX, 2003-2013 Acura MDX, and 2000-2009 Honda S2000, this actuator supports proper climate control operation by helping the system switch between fresh air and recirculated air. It also applies to select Cadillac CTS and SRX models, along with Honda Pilot applications listed in the fitment data.

Use this HVAC recirculation door actuator when servicing a vehicle with inconsistent airflow routing, recirculation control concerns, or a failed actuator in the blower housing or rear HVAC assembly. Part number 1712297 is listed with multiple interchange references for service matching.

What It May Help Resolve

• Recirculation door not changing position
• Air intake stuck on fresh air or recirculation
• Improper HVAC airflow routing through defrost, panel, or floor modes
• Clicking or binding from a worn actuator inside the HVAC housing
• Rear HVAC mode control concerns on select MDX and Pilot applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original actuator part number and match the vehicle year, make, model, and HVAC configuration before installation. Access is typically through the blower housing or rear HVAC assembly, depending on application. After installation, cycle the ignition and HVAC controls to allow the system to relearn actuator position if required by the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this actuator as a service replacement component for listed applications. The manufacturer identifies it as a climate-control actuator used to meet selected HVAC settings by moving the recirculation, blend, or mode door as needed.
