MULTI-MODEL – NO COOL AIR FROM AIR CONDITIONER (LEAK FROM EVAPORATOR)
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2013-15 CX-5 vehicles with VINs lower than JM3KE******450217 (produced before February 24, 2014)
2014-15 Mazda6 vehicles with VINs lower than JM1GJ******174072 (produced before February 24, 2014)
2014 Mazda3 vehicles with VINs lower than JM1BM******187223 (produced before February 24, 2014)
No cool air from the vents when the air conditioner (A/C) is ON.
This concern may be caused by A/C refrigerant leaking from the evaporator.
Some deformed evaporator tubes slipped through quality inspection and were used during production.
A/C refrigerant leaks from improper brazing at a joint.
To correct the problem, the production and inspection control of the evaporator have been improved.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
- Verify that the level of A/C refrigerant charge is low (The A/C refrigerant high and low pressures are both low).
- Check for refrigerant leakage from any part of the system, using a colored dye.
- If leakage is found from the A/C unit drain hose, check the A/C unit inside. If leakage is detected from the evaporator, replace it with a modified one according to the instructions on MS3 online or the Workshop Manual (section 07-11).
NOTE: When replacing the evaporator, add approximately 40 ml {40 cc, 1.4 fl oz} of compressor oil according to the instructions on MS3 online or the Workshop Manual (section 07-11).
- If leakage is found from other than evaporator, repair or replace it according to the instructions on MS3 online or the Workshop Manual.
