No emissions recall on my TL

Well i just got off the phone with acura about the emissions recall. My car was originally a canadian car so I had to jump through some hoops and make some calls just to get someone who could look up my VIN. What they guy told me is that the emissions recall is only on the CL and only on 1994-1997 cars. It also involves a few other hondas but I told him that many people on this board have had the emissions work done on their TL. He said there is absolutely no recalls on any TL. So where is this going wrong? Any ideas for me to be sure that my car doesn't need the emission work?

I have a Canadian TL as well, it's a 96. Does anyone know if Canadian TL's are covered?

Good question.

I know Canada follows the US's EPA guidelines for emissions and such but I have no idea how they handle recalls there.

If it's a recall it's fine, warranty is not.
Emission recalls are for all 96, 97 cars sold in the U.S.
