ISSUE
Some 2008 Explorer, Mountaineer, and Sport Trac vehicles built prior to 7/21/2008 may exhibit a water leak on the left front floorboard and/or the
customer's shoes from the A/C plenum assembly. This may be due to condensation from the A/C lines leaking between the plenum case and the A/C
evaporator gasket at the bulkhead.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
The evaporator gasket may get caught on or push through the A/C line access hole at the bulk head during plant installation. This will create a gap at the
bottom of the evaporator gasket. (Figure 1)
NOTE
THE GASKET CAN BE REPOSITIONED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH A FINGER. (FIGURE 2)
