NHTSA ID Number: 10165707
Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2287
Summary
Some 2013-2016 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.6L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a lack of cooling caused by the A/C inlet line breaking at the compressor. This may be due to the oil cooler coolant lines exerting excess pressure on the A/C inlet line. When replacing the A/C inlet line, a support clip for the oil cooler coolant line should be installed to prevent contacting the A/C inlet line. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the A/C inlet line and adjust the gap between the A/C inlet line and the CAC hose.

Service Procedure
- Replace the A/C inlet line. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 412-00. Do not install the underbody shield and retainers at this time.
- Loosen the clamp, remove the nut and decouple the charge air cooler (CAC) outlet pipe connection. (Figure 1)
- Install the zip tie retainer clip to reposition the oil cooler coolant hoses. (1). Install a zip-tie into the retainer clip. (Figure 2)
(2). Loosely install the zip tie retainer onto the oil cooler coolant hose.
(3). Slide the retainer up the coolant hose and insert the retainer clip onto the transmission oil pan stud above the CAC hose. (Figure 3)
(4). Position the coolant hoses so that there is a 32mm (1.25 in) distance between the A/C inlet line and the lowest point of the coolant hoses and tighten the zip tie to hold the hoses in place. (Figure 4)
- Make sure when repositioning the coolant hoses that they are not kinked or restricted in any way.
- Cut a 76 mm (3 inch) strip of urethane tape and install the tape onto the CAC outlet pipe where it contacts the oil cooler coolant hoses. (Figures 5-6)
- Install a piece of ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) tape over the urethane tape to act a secondary adhesion layer. (Figure 7)
- Install the CAC outlet pipe, nut and tighten the clamp. (Figure 1)
- Replace the A/C receiver drier element. Refer to WSM Section 412-00.
- Install the underbody shield and retainers. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00.
- Recharge the A/C system. Refer to WSM, Section 412-00.

- GREEN REFRIGERATION SOLUTION: ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% natural hydrocarbon gas, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional AC recharge like R134a. It helps reduce environmental impact while providing reliable cooling performance
- R134A READY INSTALLATION: Designed to fit R134a systems, ZeroR AC Refrigerant installs just like any standard refrigerant. The cans feature R134a-compatible threads, ensuring easy and seamless installation with your existing R 134a refrigerant can taps
- SMALLER CAN BIGGER IMPACT: Each can of our car AC refrigerant holds 6oz of refrigerant, but its performance is equivalent to 16oz of R134a. This makes it a highly efficient and cost-effective option, requiring less product while maintaining excellent performance
- BUILT FOR SAFE USAGE: ZeroR AC Car Refrigerant is rated with a class 2.1 rating, similar to newer refrigerants. When used in systems designed for refrigerants, it’s safe and poses no danger to users under normal operating conditions
- REGULATED FOR LEGAL SAFETY: ZeroR AC Recharge Can is approved for use in R134a systems only, in compliance with EPA regulations. It ensures proper functionality without the risk of mixing refrigerant types, providing peace of mind and legal safety
- R134a Replacement - Hydrocarbon blend that is 100% natural, safe for the ozone and non global warming. Chemically compatible with R134a systems.
- 6oz (11.7 fl oz) Cans - Compressed gas is measured by weight. This gas is light weight compared to others, but has the same "volume". Guaranteed that you will use no more than normal
- SSV Cans - Self Sealing Valve allows for the storage of unused gas. Requires SSV compatible tool. Avoid "piercing" style tools or the gas may come out slowly or not at all.
- Disclosures - Product is flammable like many other modern refrigerants. Observe all precautions on the product lablel when handling and storing. Follow all legal requirements when charging your system. Hydrocarbon blend refrigerant for NON MVAC use in 6oz SSV Cans.
- ENGINEERED R134a REPLACEMENT - HIGH-EFFICIENCY FORMULATION - Hydrocarbon-based A/C refrigerant engineered to replace R134a cooling performance when used correctly. Designed for A/C systems originally charged with R134a and serviced by informed DIY users
- PREMIUM HIGH-PURITY SPECIFICATION (99.5%+) - Manufactured to a tightly controlled formula with purity exceeding common refrigerant standards (AHRI 700). No mystery fillers, moisture contamination, or inconsistent blends found in low-grade alternatives
- SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER CHARGE WEIGHT REQUIRED- Hydrocarbon refrigerants absorb more heat per ounce than traditional R134a. As a result, substantially less refrigerant is required to achieve comparable cooling performance. Do not charge by R134a weight
- DESIGNED FOR CONSISTENT, EFFICIENT COOLING PERFORMANCE- Higher heat absorption per unit mass can deliver equal or colder vent temperatures than R134a in many systems when properly charged. Reduced compressor load and efficient evaporator heat transfer contribute to fast pull-down and stable cooling
- PROFESSIONAL-STYLE SELF-SEALING VALVE- 6 oz net cans feature a self-sealing female valve with standard ½″ ACME threads, compatible with common R134a charging hoses. No puncture cans, no special adapters required
- GREEN REFRIGERATION SOLUTION: ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% natural hydrocarbon gas, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional AC recharge like R134a. It helps reduce environmental impact while providing reliable cooling performance
