No A/C, Engine Coolant Leak, Engine Overheating (Install Plastic Shield to Stop Stone/Debris Impingement)

Subject:No A/C, Engine Coolant Leak, Engine Overheating (Install Plastic Shield to Stop Stone/Debris Impingement)

Models:2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR, LS, LT and Panel Van
Built Prior to August 27, 2007



Condition

Some customers may comment on the engine overheating, a coolant leak, or that the A/C is inoperative.

Cause

This may be due to the very large opening in the front fascia. Stones/debris can impact the A/C condenser and/or the radiator and pierce the horizontal cooling tubes. This in turn causes loss of A/C refrigerant, loss of engine coolant and/or engine overheating.

Correction


Object Number: 2049272  Size: SH

Important:: Verify that the customer concern was caused by condenser/radiator impingement.

Important:: Prior to installing the shield, inspect the condenser and the radiator for stone impingement.

Dealer technicians are to install a plastic shield that snaps onto the condenser vertical tubes that protects the horizontal radiator and condenser cooling tubes.
