Condition
Some customers may comment on the following conditions when the HVAC system is in the RECIRC mode:
^
Noise in the HVAC system near the IP storage compartment (glovebox).
^
Insufficient air flow from the HVAC system or the HVAC does not operate properly.
^
Papers/debris are being pulled/lifted/drawn from the IP storage compartment (glovebox) bin.
Cause
The HVAC module, when in the RECIRC mode, may have sufficient strength to pull/lift/draw papers/debris out of the top of the IP storage compartment
(glovebox) bin when the glovebox door is closed.
The ingestion of the papers/debris may cause noise, insufficient air flow and/or the HVAC module to be inoperative.
