A/C System Leak

Background: 2014 Leaf S, 22k miles, bought in December.

It finally got warm enough this weekend to try out the A/C system. Ran it full blast while driving 35 with recirculator on for about 20 minutes with no cold air.

I checked voltage across the compressor and verified compressor function, then checked to see if there was any pressure on the refrigerant line.... Nothing.

I read somewhere that the refrigerant line and steel connections were defective and could be replaced free of charge, but I can't find recall information. Can someone point me in the right direction so I know what I'm talking about when I ask for free service on the A/C system? Is it a warranty thing or a service bulletin?

Also, I ran the A/C quite a bit with the defrost function this winter. Should I be concerned about potential excessive wear on the compressor?

Thanks in advance!

Eh... Nevermind, I found it. PC421. Thanks anywho!

Has anyone had this performed?

I haven't but lots have. They replace one of the lines and eliminate a bracket that was causing the lines to wear through at one point.

I have on my '13 and it only affects the non heat pump S models.

Yes, that's what the OP drives. For clarity, none of the S models have the heatpump.
