Where is the recirculation flap motor located on the Haval H2?

The recirculation flap motor is generally located in the lower middle part of the instrument panel. Principle of recirculation: While driving, airflow is still drawn into the vehicle to replenish fresh air inside. Sometimes, even when the fan is turned off, you may still feel airflow, which is because the driver has set the system to external recirculation. When driving in the city and encountering traffic congestion, the car may fill with exhaust fumes, which happens when external recirculation is used. Internal recirculation mode closes the airflow channel between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Without the fan on, there is no airflow circulation, and when the fan is on, the airflow drawn in comes only from inside the vehicle, creating an internal airflow cycle. Internal recirculation is primarily used to effectively prevent external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle, such as when driving through smoky, dusty, or odorous areas, or in heavy traffic, blocking harmful exhaust from preceding vehicles. The correct way to use recirculation is: When driving in the city where external air quality is poor, turn on internal recirculation to prevent outside air from entering and polluting the interior air; to quickly warm up the car, such as making the interior cool rapidly in summer or warm quickly in winter, turn on internal recirculation to speed up temperature adjustment; on rainy days when the windshield fogs up due to temperature differences between inside and outside the car, and when interior humidity is high, turning on external recirculation can quickly clear the fog.
I've been driving a Haval H2 for several years, so I'm quite familiar with it. The recirculation flap motor is located behind the instrument panel, specifically inside the HVAC case, near the passenger footwell area. You'll need to remove the glove box and some lower panels to access it. Last time my car's AC had issues with the recirculation not working, I took it apart and found some oil residue stuck on the motor position, which affected its operation. That motor controls the air door flap to switch between fresh air and recirculation modes. If you can't handle it yourself, don't force it - you might damage other wiring harnesses. It's better to take it directly to a repair shop for inspection. After all, if it's broken, the cabin air quality keeps deteriorating, making driving uncomfortable, especially during summer.
