Hello and welcome to Just Answer, my name is Matt.

yes.

sorry, system locked up for a minute

it is very common for the recirculation door to break

If you take out the glove box and the blower motor you can check the recirc door.

It is a medium difficulty job.

According to the service information, it is necessary to pull the dash to replace the door. However, we found a way to "cheat" and get the new door in without pulling the dash.

it is kind of hard to explain, but you pull the glove box out, remove the blower motor, then remove as many of the case screws as you can get to. Pull the case halves slightly apart. Then the door can be twisted and turned in such a away that it will come out.

The door is flexible, which makes this easier.

Of course, you have to be careful.

The first thing I would do is check it to verify that it is broken.

The recric door will be on top (above) the blower motor. With the engine running and A/C on, press the recirc button and see if the door moves. If not, it might be broken. Then, try to move the door by hand. It should not move by hand. If it is loose and moves easily by hand, it is broken.

Yes, I would take it to the dealer. The repair should be covered by warranty.

Thanks for using Just Answer.
