There's a recall on this, you should have been notified, get it into Acura ASAP, no charge for the repair.

Recalls do not need a warranty. They are mandated by NHTSA because there is potentially a safety issue.

I assume it was not performed on your RL?

There were a few RLs that went afire from the power steering hose leaking and smoking. Hence the recall.

Get er done....and ASAP!

Err - this is Audio, Bluetooth, Electronics & Navigation subject??? If you were to look in the 2'nd gen forum at the Acura ServiceNews Bulletins - you would find in 2007:
