DESCRIPTION


A musty odor may be emitted from the ventilators after switching the A/C "ON" or "OFF." This is due to mildew forming on the evaporator core.

Cores have been modified with a resin coating which resists mildew. This new resin coated evaporator core was installed during production between April (MX-5 and B-Series) and May (323/Protege, 626/MX-6) 1990.

Vehicles built prior to the above dates experiencing this symptom should have the modified evaporator installed. Replace the A/C evaporator according to procedures in the appropriate Workshop Manual section 16 or U.

Contact your District Service Manager for an authorization number before beginning work.
