Official summary

This Preliminary information communicates that a dealer may receive a replacement AC evaporator with TXV tubes that are bent. The dealer is instructed on how to inspect for bent tubes. The dealer is advised if the evaporator TXV tubes are bent that they should not attempt to adjust the tubes but instead should replace the evaporator again.

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.
