Some customers may comment that, after running the air conditioner (A/C), water is noticed on the floor or in extreme cases a musty odor may be detected in the vehicle.

Some vehicles may also have a secondary drain tube within the drain assembly and this tube could contribute to the musty odor |
| PI-1408E | 2021-04-16. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER. Musty Odor from HVAC Vents on Startup Condition/Concern Some customers may comment on a musty or mildew odor coming from the HVAC instrument panel air outlet vents on startup. The odor most likely will dissipate after 30-60 seconds of operation. The odor generally occurs after the vehicle has been parked for 2–6 hours with sun load with temperatures of 21°C (70°F) or higher. This may be caused by condensation building up on the evaporator core, which does not evaporate by itself in humid conditions. The odor may be the result of microbial growth on the evaporator core being released into the air stream by the HVAC blower motor. |
