Illegal for them to refuse it on salvage/rebuilt vehicles. :)
FYI, the copy of the previous recall can be found here (TSB 08-016). Follow the instructions at the top first: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-technical-service-bulletins-tsbs-3g-garage-j-016-a-613659/ |

Negative. It replaces the entire hose and O-ring. And it's not a simple install.
No, see above. Safety Recalls apply for any type of title. Don't let the dealer tell you otherwise. FYI, the copy of the previous recall can be found here (TSB 08-016). Follow the instructions at the top first: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613659 |

oh. i guess i was talking about something else. what's the deal with the o-ring?
The recall includes replacing the O-ring (or at least the previous recall did), but the major issue is that the old hoses are unprotected from heat from the rear bank exhaust and eventually can crack/split and spew fluid onto the rear bank exhaust... FIRE!!! The new hoses have some kind of metal covering/shield to better protect from the heat. |
Just called dealership, they have a recall on my 08 type s
|
^oh :tomato:
yeah that does ring a bell actually. i'll call after work and see if mine is covered. might have them check out my faulty nav drive while i'm there. thanks for the clarification :thumbsup: |

Bet it's for the Type-S's - which the dumb-asses excluded as a class in the BIG (273,000) recall.
I'll see if I can find the NHTSA docs and/or TSB's. Thanks for the heads up. :thumbsup: http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/SB/B12-020.pdf |

you got a type-s? what year? 07 and the VIN matches...you're in luck! you are covered! oh...you have an 08 type-s? sorry...this doesn't apply to you. better luck next time. :bored: Depending o the specific vehicle, this might be legit for an '08. You have to remember that all cars made AFTER the defect is found/suspected probably already incorporate the fix and therefore don't need the recall. It's the 2007 TL-S's that baffled me. MT's got it; AT's didn't. '07/'08 Base got it. '07/'08 TL-S (AT) did not. Then Acura giving all kinds of horseshit excuses about different routing, different material, different connections, different vendor, blah, blah, blah, .... . They couldn't even offer a cohesive logical reason for the exclusion. And now they're back, 4-years later, doing the work anyhow. Jackasses. :tomato: |
i just called. my car is part of the recall and scheduled an appointment. anyone know exactly what this procedure will change?
|
^what do you mean? they change out the entire hose/o-ring and replace it with one that won't leak and catch your car on fire.
|
o ok, so just the hose and o-ring? i've alrdy changed the o-ring before but i guess i'll be getting another one lol. my hose probably does need to be changed though, i think it might have a small leak

Just got back from the dealership guys, it looks like the new hose has a heat shield of some type on it. I'm not sure if they replaced the O-ring or not.
Be advised, if you have an aftermarket J-pipe they may want to charge you half hour labor because the have to remove part of it. I don't know if this was BS or not but I paid it because this dealership has taken care of things in the past they could have easily denied, I won't go into more detail about that. |

So this applies to Canada as well ?
While the assumption would be this is also a recall in Canada, I don't know how to actaully show that or look it up. What I'm saying is, you have to find out if this IS a recall in Canada and then what the notification/repair process is for Canadian vehicles. |

Regards J-Pipe, they have to remove it whether it's stock or not stock. Charging for an after-market seems chickenshit to me. |
Mine didn't show up on myacura.com, but I called and my 07 Type-S 5AT was part of the recall and they said they are replacing the hose. I would imagine they'll replace the O-ring as well, but I'll verify that when I call to make my appt for next week.

It clearly says it is included in the rebuild kit and should be replaced. Simples. :thumbsup: TSB Links: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613659 |

Does it also mean the fluid will be replaced if the hose recall is done?

Glad I saw this on Autoblog this morning. I just had the PS hose replaced a month ago for $500. Called the dealer today and they refunded everything - pretty happy about it - 90k on my '08 already and I've spent about $150 in actual non-wear maintenance since I bought it new.

Also, one or two guys got charged for PS fluid IIRC... |
My appointment is Saturday. Hopefully they don't charge me extra for my aftermarket j pipe. Anyone know if they charge for a loaner car ?

Just called Acura today and luckily my VIN was not part of the recall.

Includes Canada
Honda Motor Co.'s Acura brand is recalling 56,881 TL sedans from model years 2007 and 2008 in North America to replace a power steering hose that could leak over time and potentially cause a fire. The recall affects 52,615 TL sedans in the U.S. and another 4,266 in Canada, the Japanese automaker said. Acura said the hose may deteriorate and leak over time. Leaking fluid could lead to a loss of power steering assistance or could cause smoke and fire, the Japanese automaker said. Acura said no crashes, injuries or fires have been reported related to the issue. The company said owners will be notified of the recall by mail, beginning in mid-June. Customers also can see whether their car is affected by the recall at www.recalls.acura.com or www.acura.ca/recalls. |

If you can get a loaner, it should be no cost. However, if the dealership is busy and has a lot of loaners out, there may not be one available when your arrive. Best to make an appt and request a loaner. |

So I'm going to assume that they won't give me a loaner for three hours. :( |
They told me 1.5 to 2 hours, and I told them I would need a loaner. I don't think time really matters unless it's just an oil change or something.

Which dealership are you going to? I called Acura of Glendale and they said that the parts for the recall don't come in til the following week. I made my appointment for the 25th. I asked how long it takes and the guy on the phone said that it should take about 3 hours.
So I'm going to assume that they won't give me a loaner for three hours. :( |
I told him about the aftermarket parks I have ( j pipe ) and he said that isn't a problem

I talked with a guy named Tony. I just gave him my name, cell #, and VIN. Knowing this makes me sort of sad. :( Did you purchase your car from Glendale? Because I picked mine up from Acura of the Desert in Palm Springs. |
