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

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The power steering hose in your Acura TL or Accord V6 is a crucial part that helps you steer smoothly. Over time, it can crack and leak if it gets too hot, just like a rubber hose can crack if it's exposed to too much heat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the power steering hose fails, it can leak fluid onto the hot catalytic converter, causing smoke and possibly an under-hood fire. This is a serious situation that could lead to a vehicle fire.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will replace the old power steering hose with a new, heat-resistant one, completely free of charge. You'll receive a notification when the part is available, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.

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.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Manufacturer
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
What Happened
The transmission control module in your vehicle is like the brain of your automatic transmission. It helps the gears switch smoothly. In some 2005-2010 Accords, CR-Vs, and Elements, this module might not work properly due to a problem with the secondary shaft bearing.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your engine could stall, and you might lose power. Additionally, broken parts could get stuck in the parking mechanism, making your vehicle roll away unexpectedly when you think it's in park. This increases the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will update the transmission control module software for free, so your vehicle runs smoothly and safely. You'll receive a notification letter, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.

Original — What Happened
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The rotating portion of the accelerator pedal assembly may bind. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 124, "Accelerator Control Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.
