Official summary
Some customers may complain that the air from the vents is not cold when the air conditioner is on. This could be caused by dust generated during polishing of the a/c pipes at production remaining in the pipes due to insuffi-cient washing. The dust then circulates in the a/c system causing the condenser to clog and the a/c system to become inoperative. To correct the problem, the polishing process of the a/c pipes has been improved to mini-mize the generation of dust.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
