TSB: Some 2016 ? 2023 model year Tacoma vehicles may exhibit what customers describe as a 1 ? 3\-second whistle noise from the HVAC system when the air conditioning system is ON. The whistle noise may occur as the compressor cycles on and off and is more prevalent with increased engine RPM during hot ambient temperatures. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to address this condition.

TSB: Some 2006 ? 2022 model year Toyota vehicles in particular geographic areas may exhibit a condition where the HVAC evaporator drain hose has become obstructed with an insect nest. An insect repellent drain hose tip \(ARINIX® Tip\) is available to help minimize future occurrences of this environmental condition. For some models, a new drain hose is required to properly fit the ARINIX® Tip. Follow the procedures in this bulletin for proper handling and installation of this optional service part.
