This may be due to a low refrigerant charge and/or system leak. Normal Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnosis and testing procedures may not verify any leaks. If this occurs, pressurize the system and spray the brazed joint of the thermostatic expansion valve manifold and tube assembly with soapy water just above where the retaining bracket/insulator bolts to the right side frame rail and check for leaks.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10180415-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10180415-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10180415","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER POLICE INTERCEPT","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_lincoln_aviator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
