This only applies to 2001 TL? what about 2000 and 1999 TLs? cuz i am pretty sure the design should be the same in all 3 year TLs.

I'm surprised that the letter was not written on Acura letterhead, and that it did not direct you to an Acura dealership for repair.

Perhaps this was sent to you by mistake?

I got that letter. It was'nt for the TL though. It was for my 94 Accord EX. They had the Accords VIN# on it. I also got a letter from Acura with Acura letterhead. The letter looked the same and was sent out from the same address as Honda's letter. The Acura letter didn't say anything important though.

hey, Black TL, how you like your EX? Kinda wished I had bouht an EX years back. I had an LX '97 and liked it, but a few things really irritated me: alternator very weak - could sense engine speed dropping in direct time w/ turn signals. interior molding came lose at conosle, heather mist metallic paint was 'splotchy' (all HMMs had that problem). also, engine was kinda rough and metallic-sounding, my '85 prelude ran like buttah, couldn't hear/feel it at idle. oh, yeah - it was even smoother than my TL!

I just checked my mail and I recieved one for the Honda Accord that we have in our family. But it had the VIN number of the Accord and not the TL.

so are you sure you got it for the TL? I also got one about emissions testing refunds.

Gee, thanks guys for letting me know, I never, ever got one of these letters in my 5 year history of owning cars. It could be for the 95 Honda Accord my dad has. When I get home, I gotta look up the VIN#. Thanks for letting me know guys, you are the greatest!

Gomez, I love our Accord. It has over 150,000 miles on it and it still drives smooth as he11. It idles great and has never had a problem. We have always taken it to the dealer for service so maybe that was why. But anyway, I miss that car now. My sister drives it and it looks like crap now. Hasn't been washed in months, she claims someone hit the car when we went to Jersey one Saturday. She said she noticed it the wednesday after. (yeah right) The back drivers door is dented in which you cant miss unless your blind.

Hey guys good new! It's not for the TL at all sorry mispost. I just looked up the VIN # and my father has a 1995 Accord, it was for the Accord, I never gotten one of these letters before, so I was alittle confused, also b/c I never bought a new car b4 either. I thought you only get these types of letter when you have a new car.
