By other problems arising from changes to the refrigerant at the molecular level. I hear they are going to have to redesign evaporators, but that's just hearsay, and it doesn't quite make sense. More surface area, yada, yada. If so, I'd be willing to bet that it will be parallel flow so as to make them no longer serviceable. By that I mean flushable, so when a compressor eats itself internally, shooting metal down the lines, you have to replace it. Ripping out the dash comes to mind.

Condensers are already there (parallel flow/ micro tube, more heat dissipation due to surface area), but it's bullshyte, tube and fin condensers work just fine, if you know what you are doing.

The production of R12 was mandated to stop in 1995, most 1994 year model cars were already 134.
