Recall Roundup: 2007-2008 Acura TL Power Steering Hose

2008 Acura TL Type-S

Acura is recalling TL sedans for faulty power steering hoses. The issue is similar to the 2010 recall on Acura TSX sedans and a previous recall involving 273,000 TLs.

The Problem: Acura says the power steering hose could deteriorate, causing fluid to leak. Drivers may notice a loss of power steering assistance, while the worst case scenario would be a fire due to fluid leaking onto the catalytic converter. The automaker says no fires or injuries have been reported.

The Fix: Acura will mail notices to customers next month. Once customers receive the notice, they should schedule a visit to an Acura dealer for the repair. Owners can get more information by visiting www.recalls.acura.com or calling (800) 382-2238.
