Honda recalling 165,000 vehicles over engine problems
Associated Press
Mar. 19, 2007 09:30 AM
WASHINGTON - Honda Motor Corp. said Monday that it was recalling about 165,000 vehicles from the 2005-06 model years in the United States to deal with potential engine problems.
Honda said the recall affected 2005 models of the Acura RL, TL and TSX sedans, 2005 Honda Accord coupes, sedans and hybrids, 2005 Odyssey minivans and 2006 Ridgeline trucks.
The move is part of a global recall because of similar problems, said Honda spokesman Chris Martin. Details on the total number of vehicles and the number of countries where the vehicles were sold were not immediately available, he said.

Martin said the automaker discovered that sealer material leaked onto a coil wire inside the fuel pump relay on some of the vehicles. The wire can become brittle and snap, causing the engine to stall or fail to start.
Honda has received "multiple complaints" of vehicles stalling or failing to start, Martin said. There have been no injuries or crashes linked to the defect.
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pump relay free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early April.
Owners can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Interesting. Wish they'd do one for the headunit though on the '04s. I've been lucky with that so far, but watch me get unlucky right after the warranty is up.

I just called them. You will know if you are affected when you receive notice. I tried to get her to give me the VIN range, she couldn't for some reason.
She said I was affected.

The fuel pump relay failed on my 05 TSX a few months back while driving down the highway. It was not fun to be driving at 70mph and having your engine cut out on you, so this one everyone may want to get this fixed asap.
If your engine cuts out while driving, make sure you pull over somewhere safe as quickly as you can -- my steering locked up about 20 seconds after losing power.
I would imagine this is covered by the powertrain warranty.

The denso relays are fine.
The mitsuba relays need to be replaced. If you have a mitsuba relay, your VIN will be on their list.

Sometimes dealers screw up more than they fix. I took my '05 TitsSX in a few months ago to have the passenger side seat heater switch replaced. They "replaced" the passenger side one and the next day I was driving at night and noticed that the drivers side switch backlight wasn't working. I think they just switched it and hoped I wouldn't notice. Bastards!

Just last week my car would not start and just kept cranking over and over. Finally it started.
I just brought my car in for service too (and like the other person said, my seat-heater switch no longer lights up) and had the center console fixed.

I just called and luckily my VIN is not within the affected range. Although, they did tell me that there has been another recall on 05's (and possible other years) regarding the HID headlight assembly. Apparently where the hood contacts the headlight housing it causes some rubbing that will deteriorate the seal over time allowing moisture to enter the headlight. They said that the HID notices were sent out on March 9th.
I've already had one headlight replaced under warranty due to moisture about a year ago so it looks like Acura is finally addressing the problem. Hopefully some of you guys that are out of warranty could benefit from this new recall.
