This may be due to a insufficient/low refrigerant charge. If a vehicle displays a lack of cooling performance during PDI, inspect for a leak. Refer to the diagnostics in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00 for A/C leak detection. Many times when the system is only evacuated and refilled to the proper level at PDI the customer will return for a lack of cooling performance concern. A refrigerant leak will usually be identified as the root cause.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10143080-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10143080-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10143080","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null},{"id":"hvac","name":"Heating and air conditioning","parent":null},{"id":"labels-manuals","name":"Labels and manuals","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"ESCAPE","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_escape","2018_ford_escape"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKC","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_lincoln_mkc","2018_lincoln_mkc"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
