IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA Recall No. 18E-004
Joe Smith
123 Any Street
Hometown, PA 12345
Reimbursement code: AC0118XXX
Dear Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Dorman Products has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, may exist in certain aftermarket replacement A/C Bypass Pulley assemblies. As a result of this determination, Dorman Products is recalling part numbers 34283 and 660-2001-1, which were sold for replacement use on the following makes and models:
| Make | Model | Year | Configuration |
| Hyundai | Santa Fe | 2001-2006 | V6 2.7L (2656cc) |
| Hyundai | Sonata | 2002-2005 | V6 2.7L (2656cc) |
| Hyundai | Sonata | 1999-2001 | V6 2.5L (2493cc) |
Only A/C Bypass Pulley assemblies with the part numbers stated above are included in the recall. These A/C Bypass Pulley assemblies were sold as an alternative to replacing to the entire AC Compressor and therefore, eliminated the function of the air conditioning in the vehicle.
Remedy: Dorman Products wishes to correct the functionality of as many subject parts as possible. Dorman believes that you currently own or have previously owned a motor vehicle in which one of these parts was installed. Dorman will provide a replacement part and if necessary, will reimburse for the repair at a repair facility, for labor to replace the Dorman part. The replacement of the A/C Bypass Pulley should take less than 1 hour, by a skilled service technician. Please contact Dorman Products at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5, to help determine if the part you have is a Dorman part.
If you had this repair performed before you received this letter, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy. In order to qualify for this reimbursement, you must send original invoices and receipts to:
Dorman Products, Inc.,
Attn: A/C Bypass Pulley
3400 East Walnut Street
Colmar, PA 18915
For more information please call our toll free hotline at 1-800-523-2492 and press 5.
For those who previously owned vehicles with these parts:
Please provide confirmation that the vehicle is no longer in your possession.
Federal regulations require that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.
We regret any inconvenience that this action may cause you. However, Dorman considers your safety and the safety of others a top priority. If your dealer or independent automotive repair facility is unwilling or is unable to remedy this defect within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236; (TTY: 1-800-4249153); or go to https://www.safercar.gov.

- UNABLE TO SHIP THIS ITEM TO CALIFORNIA and WASHINGTON
- All in one solution to restore lost refrigerant and oil in automotive air conditioning systems
- Contains system safe leak sealer additive that seals common A/C leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets and O-rings
- Built in disposable recharge hose
- No tools required
- Replaces lost R-134a refrigerant and oil in automotive A/C system
- Extra long 24 inch recharge hose for accessing hard to reach service ports
- Reusable trigger dispenser with built in low pressure gauge and temperature dial indicator
- Contains R-134a gas which is acceptable for use in motor vehicle A/C (MVAC) systems
- Complies with Section 612 of the EPA Clean Air Act. EPA Compliant in Self Sealing Cans
- UNIVERSAL - ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a hydrocarbon that safely bonds with chemicals like R134a, R1234YF and R12. We can only advertise this product to be used in R134a systems due to EPA regulations in the USA on both R12 and R1234YF systems. EPA also prohibits mixing refrigerant types. See the description for all legal disclaimers.
- EASY - This product installs just as easily as any R134a products. Cans even have R134a threads and the majority of R134a can taps will work for these cans.
- 6oz CANS - Refrigerants are compressed gasses and are measured by weight, not by liquid volume such as water. All gasses compress differently and produce a different weight. ZeroR AC Refrigerant is low weight compared to R134a, but its performance is equal to 16oz of R134a.
- ECO FRIENDLY – ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% Natural gas unlike R134a, R1234yf and R12.
- SAFE – ZeroR AC Refrigerant has a class 2.1 flammability rating just like the new R1234YF which is now used in 100% of newly manufactured vehicles. Under normal operating conditions this product presents no danger to its users when handled properly and used in systems approved for flammable refrigerants.
- UNABLE TO SHIP THIS ITEM TO CALIFORNIA and WASHINGTON
- Replaces lost R-134a refrigerant and oil in automotive A/C system
- Eliminates moisture buildup and acid from A/C system to help extend A/C system life
- Contains acceptable amounts of ingredients: 14oz R-134a Refrigerant (1,1,1,2 Tetrafluoroethane, CAS# 811-97-2) & 8oz of synthetic lubricant enhancer, conditioner, with leak sealer.
- Contains R-134a gas which is acceptable for use in motor vehicle A/C (MVAC) systems
- WORKS WITH ALL 134a SYSTEMS: Our 134a Replacement Refrigerant is compatible with all systems and lubricants that are designed to be used with 134a refrigerant or that have been retrofitted to use 134a. It can be used in cars, trucks, refrigerators, RVs, boats, tractors, combines, ice machines, milk processing equipment, and any other equipment calling for R-134a. You must follow all EPA guidelines when handling this refrigerant.
- COLDER FORMULA WITH LOWER HEAD PRESSURES: Our refrigerant is a specially engineered hydrocarbon formula that operates at a lower head (high side) pressure than standard 134a. This can allow your compressor to run smoother and have improved cooling and performance properties. This is our coldest and highest performing refrigerant formula. When charging, our 134a Replacement Refrigerant is easily installed using the same pressure parameters as standard 134a.
- USES LESS REFRIGERANT BY WEIGHT: Our 134a Replacement Refrigerant is physically lighter than standard 134a refrigerant. Each 8oz can of 134a Replacement Refrigerant is equal to 21oz of standard 134a refrigerant (a 1:2.6 weight ratio). That means that if you want to add 12oz of standard 134a refrigerant to a system, you will only need to add 4.6oz of our 134a Replacement Refrigerant. This translates to using up to 60% less refrigerant for a proper charge.
- PROVEN FORMULA THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE: The Leak Saver 134a Replacement Refrigerant formula is 100% USA Made. It is designed to be a climate-friendly green alternative to standard 134a and is non-ozone depleting and has zero Global Warming Potential (GWP). On the other hand, standard R-134a is an HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) greenhouse gas and has a high (GWP). Please note that this refrigerant is flammable and has been safely sold for all the listed applications for over 28 years.
- YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR PRIORITY: We stand 100% behind the effectiveness of our products. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your product, please contact us, and we will make it right.
