STEERING Safety Recalls

Critical #12V222000 Plain English
Component

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The power steering hose in your vehicle is a tube that carries fluid to the power steering system. Over time, it can crack and leak if it gets too hot under the hood of your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the power steering hose cracks and leaks, it could cause the power steering fluid to spill onto a nearby hot part called the catalytic converter. This could lead to a fire in the engine compartment.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the power steering hose with a new, heat-resistant one at no cost to you. Just wait for a notification from Honda, and schedule the repair when parts become available.

Original — What Happened
Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL and model year 2003-2007 Accord V6 vehicles. In May 2012, Honda filed a defect report to recall certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL vehicles. In September 2012, Honda informed the agency that it was including an additional 573,147 vehicles including certain model year 2003 through 2007 Accord V6 vehicles. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 625,762. Prolonged under-hood and power steering fluid temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, resulting in cracks and power steering fluid leakage.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
Original — Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose, free of charge. The original recall began in June 2012, and owners of those vehicles may obtain the free remedy. Sufficient parts are not yet available for owners of the vehicles covered by the September 2012 expansion, but are expected to be available in early 2013. Honda will notify owners of these vehicles beginning on October 26, 2012, and will notify these owners again when parts are available so those vehicles can be brought to dealers for applications of the free remedy. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The power steering hose in your vehicle is like a long, flexible tube that helps you steer. In some 2004-2008 Acura TL models, this hose can degrade quickly if the engine gets too hot, causing it to crack and leak power steering fluid.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose cracks and leaks power steering fluid onto the hot catalytic converter under the hood, it could start smoking and even catch fire, which could lead to serious damage or injury.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will replace the faulty power steering hose with a new, heat-resistant one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
