When was R12 coolant stopped being put in cars?

R-12 refrigerant (Freon) was phased out of new car production in the United States in 1994-1995. However, it's important to note that many cars using R-12 are still on the road, and it's still possible to find and legally use R-12 for servicing *existing* vehicles, though its production and import are heavily restricted. The exact year it completely disappeared from new car production varies slightly depending on the manufacturer and model.
