APRIL 2010 -- Honda is recalling certain
model year 2010 Acura ZDX passenger cars manufactured between November 12, 2009
and March 22, 2010. During the manufacturing process, the dashboard covering
material may have not been properly laser scored to allow complete deployment of
the front passenger's SRS airbag. In the event of a crash, the airbag will not
deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury. Honda will notify owners and
Acura dealers will inspect the dashboard covering material and replace if
necessary free of charge. The safety recall began on April 21, 2010. . Honda's
recall campaign number is R34. 10V-145
APRIL 2010 -- Honda is recalling certain
model year 2004 through 2008 Acura TSX passenger vehicles manufactured between
September 25, 2002 and February 13, 2008. Prolonger high under hood temperatures
may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely and may cause the
hose to crack and leak power steering oil. Oil leaking onto a hot exhaust pipe
will generate smoke and a burning smell, and could potentially result in an
under hood fire. Honda will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles
free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about May 28, 2010.

Honda recalls 167,000 Acura TSX for possible fire hazardYAHOO NEWS -- May 3, 2010 Honda Motor Company's luxury vehicle division Acura announced Friday a recall of some 167,000 Acura TSX models to replace a power steering hose that could lead to a "smoke or a fire" hazard.
"Affected TSX vehicles are 2004-2008 models sold in the United States with the 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine," a company statement said, adding that the repair "involves installing a new power steering hose, o-ring gasket and fluid."
Honda said the hose has a potential "for premature deterioration... as a result of prolonged exposure to high under-hood temperatures" and could develop cracks allowing power steering fluid to leak on the hot exhaust system "potentially generating smoke or a fire."
The repair, it added, will be "all done at no cost to the vehicle owner."
In mid-April, Honda recalled several hundred of its 2010 Acura ZDX to inspect passenger-side air bags.

of its best-selling Accord
and Civic models -- for a
potentially lethal airbag

affected vehicles
Honda said
owners of those models can
check to see if their
vehicle is covered by the
recall by checking the
automaker's website at
www.owners.honda.com/recalls.

Japanese automaker said it
was encouraging owners to
wait until they received a
recall notice to go to a
dealership and have the
inflator for the
steering-wheel airbag
replaced.

Prolonged high under-hood
temperatures may cause the
power steering hose to
deteriorate prematurely
causing the hose to crack
and leak power steering
fluid. Power steering fluid
leaking onto a hot catalytic
converter will generate
smoke and possibly lead to
an under-hood fire. Dealers

If water enters the
windshield wiper motor
breather port, which is
designed to allow the motor
to vent warm air during
normal operation, it can
result in corrosion inside
the motor housing. This
could cause a failure of the
electrical circuit breaker
inside the motor housing. If
the circuit breaker fails,
it will cause the windshield
wiper motor to become
inoperative, which can
increase the likelihood of a
crash in certain conditions.

windshield wiper motor for
signs of corrosion. If no
signs of corrosion are
present, a snorkel tube will
be added to the wiper motor
breather port to prevent

Dec. 18, 2007 Bloomberg.com --

internal investigation that led to the recall, according to a
letter posted on NHTSA's Web site.
Honda began notifying owners yesterday, and dealers will install
a heat-resistant hose, according to the letter from....a lawyer
with Honda's Torrance, California-based U.S. unit.
