Safety Recall: Power Steering Fluid Leak
Dear TL Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
What is the reason for this notice?
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has decided that a defect relating to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2004-2008 model year TL vehicles. Prolonged high under-hood temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, and may cause the hose to crack and leak power steering fluid. Fluid leaking onto a hot catalytic converter, will generate smoke and possibly lead to an under-hood fire.
What should you do?
Call any authorized Acura dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will inspect and replace the power steering hose free of charge. Please plan to leave your vehicle for half a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling.
Who to contact if you experience problems.
If you are not satisfied with the service you receive from your Acura dealer, you may write to:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

Mail Stop 500-2N-7E
1919 Torrance Blvd.

If you believe that American Honda or the dealer has failed or is unable to remedy the defect in your vehicle, without charge, within a reasonable period of time (60 days from the date you first contact the dealer for a repair appointment), you may submit a complaint to:
Administrator
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Or call the toll-free Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236 [TTY (800) 424-9153], or go to http://www.safercar.gov

Haha all of these guys know you're gay too Glenn? I thought I was the only one that knew.
I do think that the monkeys they have working on cars at the dealership I purchased the car from did not put shims on any of the pads. So I guess I am stuck replacing the brand new pads just to get some shims? Or I will go the brakemotive route? I don't know. We shall see.
