EVENT_SUMMARY
Honda is recalling certain Acura TL and Honda Accord V6 vehicles because the power steering hose may deteriorate and leak fluid onto the engine, which can cause a fire.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the power steering hose leaks, it can cause a fire by getting hot fluid on the catalytic converter, which can lead to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
You should have your vehicle inspected by a dealer, and if necessary, a new heat-resistant power steering hose will be installed for free.
