Consumer Description

So there was a service bulletin put out by Toyota in December 2020, about its AC repair. Well no notice was given to Toyota owners about this. Well fast forward to yesterday May 21, 2025, my mechanic told me that the AC lines to the rear were leaking and needed to be replaced as it was leaking refrigerant into the environment. Well after reading reviews and other folks problems it seems Toyota knows there is a problem with the ac lines and the type of material they used. Toyota should be issuing a recall notice on these cars to replace the ac lines so it does not pose an environmental hazard inside or outside the vehicle.
