| 2008 Acura TL recalled for Fire Danger |
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. Consequence:
If
this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic
converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
