Small rocks get tossed oFF the Front
roadside tire and hit the Fan blades that
cool oFF the condenser coil unit. These
rocks can bust Fan blades and become
embedded in the coil. In some cases, the
rocks will puncture the coil, causing a
reFrigerant leak. No reFrigerant means
the air conditioner can’t pump cool air
inside the vehicle. No air conditioning?

blades For any damage. Same goes For the
condenser coil behind the Fan blades. IF
