- What is wrong
- 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.
- Risk
- If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
- 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.

I own 07 accord everything has been working properly I have owned about 2 years no problems yesterday going about 30 miles an hour my passenger lower ball joint broke of and the axle broke as well it was scary no prior signs or indicators that something like this would happen
On startup, vehicle makes loud grinding noise coming from power steering. Vehicle is tough to turn left and right when in motion. Bubbles in power steering reservoir. Power steering fluid is leaking from hose that travels towards front of car and from power steering pump. Car has been sitting since nov 2020 and I checked vehicle today and power steering fluid is still leaking from both hoses. Vehicle makes louder grinding noise when turning and is very stiff
The power steering on my car is stiffening, it's hard to steer. The vsa light is on along with check engine light. I took my car into finlay honda in flagstaff, az after I found there was a recall on the power steering. I had a new power steering pump put in before I saw the recall notice, so therefore I took it in to finlay honda but, recall was not performed due to an aftermarket power steering replaced in my car. The power steering pump worked ok for awhile, but it is beginning to steer hard and I haven't been driving it due to the safety issue. I can not afford to buy a new pump and hose from the dealer, and besides it's on recall no matter what. The power train and the tranny are in great condition and I would like to keep on driving this great vehicle as long as possible. I would like to take it to another dealer (melloy honda) here in nm if the recall is still honored. At the moment my car is just parked at home. Like I said it is hard to steer when I drive it. I will need the car for transportation back and forth to work soon, as I will be going back to work in august. I appreciate you looking into this matter and will look forward to a response from you as soon as possible. Thank you
The steering got really tight hard to turn and the engine running loud wasn't doing it before and I seen there a lot of recalls on this vehicle.
I've had my power steering pump and rack & pinion replaced. Power steering is still tough, feels like I'm turning the wheel with 40lb weights on each side of it. Suspension is failing, hitting a bump makes my car feel like the suspension is pushing up and makes it float momentarily and makes a slight noise while driving. Both cv axles failed front side at the same point of that rubber grommet in the middle, water gets trapped under it and makes it rust out....both of them snapped while I was driving at different points.
