Once the refrigerant has been evacuated, dealers will replace the compressor and any failed A/C components, and recharge the system following the instructions in Attachment III. This includes, but is not limited to damage caused by collision or other. This service must be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.

NOTE: To obtain the loaner equipment, dealers are to submit a VIN-specific contact via the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) web contact site. Follow the on-line instructions and complete the bailment agreement. The SSSC web contact site can be accessed through the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.
