NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 3.3L OR 3.8L ENGINE.
DISCUSSION:
It an A/C suction and/or discharge line requires replacement due to cracking at or near the compressor, inspect the three (3) A/C compressor mounting
bolts and be sure they are torqued to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
The root cause of A/C suction and/or discharge line cracking at or near the compressor may be related to the compressor being improperly secured to the
engine. Excessive vibration may result if the compressor attaching bolts are not properly torqued. This vibration will eventually crack the aluminum
tubing of the A/C lines and/or compressor mounting ears.
