Production of R12 refrigerant ceased on December 31, 1995. Although R12 is no longer manufactured, a reserve supply of R12 has been established for GM dealers. This reserve, along with strict adherence to proper A/C refrigerant recycling procedures, should assure continued availability to meet customer needs.
