All recalls

Electrical systemReported March 15, 2013 · 76,253 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Acura TSX vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. In states that use corrosive materials for deicing, driver's footwear may bring in materials that saturate the vehicle's carpeting, which is in contact with the vehicle's engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU). As a result, the ECU case may experience rust or corrosion. This damage may potentially cause the engine to stall.
Risk
A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners and Acura dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace any damaged ECU, free of charge. All vehicles will have a waterproof cover installed onto the ECU, free of charge. The recall began during April 2013. Owners may contact Acura Client Relations at 1‑800‑382‑2238 and select option 4 or go to www.recalls.acura.com.

Recall number 13V093000 · Recall details

Steering: hydraulic power assist: hose, piping, and connectionsReported April 29, 2010 · 167,255 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2004 through 2008 acura tsx passenger vehicles manufactured between september 25, 2002 and february 13, 2008. Prolonged high under hood temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely and may cause the hose to crack and leak power steering oil.
Risk
Oil leaking onto a hot exhaust pipe will generate smoke and a burning smell, and could potentially result in an under hood fire.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began may 28, 2010. Owners may contact acura client services at 1‑800‑382‑2238.

Recall number 10V174000 · Recall details

Exterior lighting: tail lightsReported September 3, 2004 · 40,060 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain passenger cars, the wire harness located in the trunk hinge area is not adequately protected and over time could be damaged when the trunk is opened and closed.
Risk
A damaged harness can cause a blown fuse, a short circuit and it can result in a loss of license plate lights, back-up lights and tail light function. Loss of a tail light could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the harness and if any damage is found, the harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, dealers will install corrugated plastic tubing over the harness to prevent future damage. The recall began on september 15, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009.
