TSX is on recall now too

Acura TSX Recalled
Date Posted 09-09-2004

The Acura TSX — a version of the European Honda Accord, sold in the United States — is one of the vehicles involved in a recall issued by Honda over the vehicle's lights. Honda says it will recall 158,187 cars sold in Japan, the United States and 39 other countries to fix the problem, which arises from tape used to seal the wiring leading to the vehicle's rear lights. About 40,060 Acura TSXs could be affected by the problem, which occurs when, after repeated closings and openings of the trunk, the tape and wires fail and the rear lights stop working. No accidents or injuries have been reported due to the problem, a spokeswoman told Reuters.

I would rather have the TSX recall then the tranny recall on the TL.

I don't even know why the issued a recall on the transmission, the "fix" is far from a "fix." It does nothing to address the clutch pack issue.

Count your days and miles. I will happen to you too. I hope it does not happen to you. But everyone I have meet with 00 or newer TL for the 2nd has had their tranny replaced. Most CL owners I know also have had their trannies replaced as well. Sometimes I wish I had a 99 TL no issues with the tranny.
