Official summary

Some 2012 - 2013 model year Camry vehicles may exhibit a condition where the HVAC system intermittently blows warm air from the vents with the A/C ON. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1479 (Flow Sensor Circuit) may be stored in the A/C system as either a current or history DTC. A malfunctioning A/C compressor flow sensor may cause this condition. Follow the procedure in this bulletin to determine if it is applicable to repair the vehicle.

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.
