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

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The power steering hose in your Acura or Honda is like a flexible tube that carries fluid to help you steer. Over time, it can break down and crack, causing fluid to leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose cracks and leaks, the fluid can get hot and potentially ignite, causing a fire under the hood while you're driving. This could lead to a serious accident.
Free Fix
Your dealership will replace the old hose with a new, heat-resistant one, free of charge. You'll receive a notification when the repair is available, and you should schedule it as soon as you can.

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.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE-INACTIVE

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The sensor that adjusts your airbag's inflation pressure based on how you're sitting in your seat has a faulty wiring harness. This harness was attached to the seat frame in the wrong spot and might have been tightened too tightly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this sensor fails, your airbag system will always deploy with maximum pressure, which could put smaller drivers at greater risk of injury in a frontal crash.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty wiring harness for you at no cost. You can expect to be notified around February 8, 2007, and should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER'S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED, AND THE SPS TO FAIL.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A FAILURE OF THE SPS CAUSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO DEFAULT TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT POSITION. FULL DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY FOR SMALLER DRIVERS IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
Original — Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR WIRING SUBHARNESS. THE RECALL WILL BEGIN ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 8, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
SABERSPORT
What Happened
The corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that attach to the corners of your car and the bumper. In some of the after-market versions sold by Sabersport, these lights are missing a crucial reflective part that helps other drivers see your vehicle when it's turning or changing lanes.
Risk if Unfixed
If these lights are missing the reflective piece, it's harder for other drivers to see your vehicle at night, especially when you're turning or changing lanes. This could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
Sabersport will offer a full refund for the non-compliant corner and bumper lamp assemblies. Your refund will be processed after you contact Sabersport at 1-909-598-7589.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
GENERA CORPORATION
What Happened
The headlight assemblies on your 2003-2006 Honda Accord were installed by a third party (not Honda), and they may not be shining correctly. The lights are supposed to be aimed to help you see the road ahead, but these might be off-target.
Risk if Unfixed
If the headlights aren't shining where they should, you could have reduced visibility on the road, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could make it harder to see pedestrians, other cars, or obstacles, and increase the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Genera, the company that made the headlight assemblies, will offer to buy back the faulty parts from you. They'll contact you by January 26, 2007, to discuss the next steps. You can also reach out to them at 714-522-6688 to learn more.
