HVAC Evaporator Drain Hose Clogged Due to Insect Intrusion
Introduction
Some 2007 – 2022 model year Lexus vehicles in particular geographic areas may exhibit a
condition where the HVAC evaporator drain hose has become obstructed with an insect nest. An
insect repellent drain hose tip (ARINIX® Tip) is available to help minimize future occurrences of
this environmental condition. For some models, a new drain hose is required to properly fit the
ARINIX® Tip. Follow the procedures in this bulletin for proper handling and installation of this
optional service part.
NOTE
The ARINIX® Tip is NOT registered or labeled for sale or use outside the United States or Puerto Rico.
