Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to add Model Years. Please discard PIT5272A.
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition / Concern
Some customers may comment there is a whistle noise in the vehicle from the driver or passenger side. Some may also state this is present while driving or with the HVAC on and in recirculation mode or the noise will go away or change if HVAC is switched out of recirc, or if a window is cracked open. This could be caused by voids in the body sealer in one or more places.
Recommendations / Instructions
1.) It may be helpful to use a hose as a listening aid to be able to tuck it down along the corners of the IP behind trim to get closer to the source of the noise to help pinpoint areas for focused inspection.
2.) Inspect for voids in the body sealer on the left or right side A-pillar as shown in the pictures below.
A.) It may be necessary to remove the Front Door Body Side Weatherstrip to gain access to the lower A-Pillar to cowl seams.
B.) When looking at the base of the left or right A-Pillar to cowl, it may be necessary to look in through the windshield to locate the missing sealer.
- Inspect for voids in the body sealer at the cowl seam on the right side under the plenum cover cap as shown in picture below
Note: The plenum cover cap must be removed and resealed to perform this inspection.
3.) If voids are found in the A-pillar sealer, repair the voids and retest.
4.) If no voids at the A-pillar were identified or if repair of voids did not completely eliminate issue, inspect for voids in the body sealer at the cowl seam under Air Inlet Grille (wiper plenum) Panel on the left side as in the picture below.
5.) Inspect for voids in the body sealer at the cowl seam on the right side under the plenum cover cap as shown in the picture below.
NOTE: The plenum cover cap (1) must be removed and resealed to perform this inspection.
