We've heard this was coming, but it is now official (see link below). Looks like, if you have an '05, you may need to get into the dealer.

I just finished with them. I talked to very nice lady who asked me for the VIN# my name, address and she put me to hold. After about 40 sec. she told me that my car has NO recalls at this time

LUCKKKKY..... GAWSH! <--- pc = car!

I just called Honda and looked on my Owner Link and apparently my 05 TL doesn't fall into this recall. OR they just haven't figured out exactly what vehicles are being recalled... because a few times since I've had the car, it would not start; I'd have to turn the ignition off and retry and every retry was successful at getting it started. And I assume this is what they're referring to?

Wonder when they'll begin notifying people?

fant0m_TL

my uncle told me the week of April 2 is when you will start getting letters from Acura.

Does anyone know the span of VINs affected?

TLTrance

I just got off the phone with Honda.. The affected TL vins are:

...5A046061 through ...5A067961

Mine's just a few thousand vehicles before 46061... Phew...

thanks for the info. hope my fuel pump doesn't fail before i get it fixed.

fant0m_TL

i doubt it... its 2 years old... i doubt it will happen now... but its liablity for Acura, so that's probably why they are making a big fuss about it... ovbiously it has to happen to someone, but idk, chances are, it wont happen to you.


just watch - ill go to acura to pick my car up and it wont start up - D'OH!

MaFreCoLa

Phew.....my VIN is a couple thousand before 46061.

Mine too.

Glass half full = don't have to deal with taking car to dealer for recall.

Glass half empty = fuel pump could fail anyway after warranty expires and you would have to pay for it.

lil12002

same here mines is a couple 10s of thousands short...

Kracker

Why was I thinking it was a relay above the fuse box? Mine is in the recall. Kinda feel sorry for the tech that has to go thru all the dynamat to get to the fuel pump.

mn2trance

Probably because that's what had happened to mine last year. And mine falls within the VIN, too. Nothing on Owner Link for this recall for me either. I'll wait until I'm scheduled for service to bring this up. It should be well after the initial release date of April 2.

Kracker

Yes, its just a relay. This thread has more info: https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/puter-techies-setting-up-2-computers-office-155047/

Ain't that a load of sh*t... just when you thought your ride is A-okay then this happens. I'm going to pawn my ride and start taking the damn bus again!!! LOL

damn... they hit my battleship.

levon1830

It's kinda misleading how that article's headline is "Honda recalling 165,000 vehicles over engine problems." They make it sound like some internal engine issue that will lead to thousands of dollars worth of repairs if not corrected. It's only a relay.

A problem nonetheless, but not as big as that headline makes it seem.

In my opinion, Honda maintains its rep as an excellent vehicle manufacturer with near bulletproof engines in their consumer products.

I have an 04 and I've taken my car to the dealer several times for this same issue. The sevice advisor told me to tow the car when it doesn't start... I laughed and called her crazy.

3rdGenA-spec

im one if the lucky ones no recall my vin is A007789 no where near

mickcris

I just checked my vin and it falls within the number posted in this thread. it is not showing up on my owner link yet though.

Run N. Gun

Wow - good catch TTRIBE. I'm glad that I traded my old TL - it fell into that S/N range.

aznbenz07

mine was effected, I was pissed when it was failing to start. I had to have my baby towed to acura and they fixed or should I say replaced the relay free of charge of coarse.

Laxplaya11385

NOOOOOO!!!I fall into the range

Ytsejamr

I do to. But you know what, I'm not worried about it. Next time I go to the dealer, I'll have them do what they need to do. No big deal.

honestly... recalls like these happen all the time with all car makers. It's not that big of a deal. It's just rare that Honda issues one, which speaks volumes for Honda's quality.

It's a lot better than some other car maker *cough*VW*cough* who stonewalled a large group of their owners about a well known issue *cough*coil packs*cough* until some newspapers got wind of it THEN issues a recall notice.

I will stick with my Acura... thanks!

rt4563

I completely agree with you.

Bastards. How else could they sell a story unless they completely blow it out of proportion? Oh, the truth. Riiiiiight. That would never sell.
