Power steering recall

Hi people.
So I took my car in for windshield wiper and power steering recalls. I dropped the car off along with other warranty work for a couple of days and got the car back.
I noticed the power steering hose are still the same from before... If you are looking at the engine bay, the powersteering hose is right next to the belt on the left side... is that the hose they replaced? It looks the same to me, unless they replace somewhere inside or not at all...

thanks for all your help

check acura.com for recall specifics
I thought it was both hoses at the pump res connection, and you should be able to tell
How do you know they are the same hoses?

Does the invoice show the parts numbers and labor time-even warranty has to specify what was used

Does your hose have a metal foil wrapping around it? Look down where it heads to the abyss under the strut bar in the rear of the motor on the pass side. It should also bolt to the top if the power steering pump which is the uppermost pulley located next to the plastic engine cover.

if you took it in and the hoses were not replaced-
go back- ask the service manager to come to your car- open the hood and point out the hoses

Seems like the front has not been changed, I will check the hose in the rear of the motor to see if it has been changed.

There is only one hose that is involved in the recall a it is visable from the top of the P/S pump. Just make sure you are looking at the right one. If I get a chance Ill take a pic to show you.
