Honda is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL and model year 2003-2007 Accord V6 vehicles. In May 2012, Honda filed a defect report to recall certain model year 2007 and 2008 Acura TL vehicles. In September 2012, Honda informed the agency that it was including an additional 573,147 vehicles including certain model year 2003 through 2007 Accord V6 vehicles. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 625,762. Prolonged under-hood and power steering fluid temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, resulting in cracks and power steering fluid leakage.
If this occurs, power steering fluid can leak onto a hot catalytic converter, leading to smoke and possibly an under-hood fire.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose, free of charge. The original recall began in June 2012, and owners of those vehicles may obtain the free remedy. Sufficient parts are not yet available for owners of the vehicles covered by the September 2012 expansion, but are expected to be available in early 2013. Honda will notify owners of these vehicles beginning on October 26, 2012, and will notify these owners again when parts are available so those vehicles can be brought to dealers for applications of the free remedy. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

TAKATA RECALL. WHY WAS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NEVER INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE THREE RECALLS (15V320000, 14V700000, 15V370000) AFFECTING THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD? I PREVIOUSLY ASKED HONDA BUT THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND. WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION WHY MY ACCORD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS.? I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

"TAKATA RECALL" AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON, AND HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED AT THE MAJORITY OF STARTS. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WILL TURN ON, AND STAY-ON AT TIMES, MAJORITY WILL SHUT-OFF, THE DRIVER SIDE WILL TURN OFF SOMETIMES, MOSTLY THE LIGHT WILL STAY-ON. NOT HARDLY WILL THERE NOT BE ONE OF THE AIR-BAG LIGHTS ON, AND I NEVER KNOW WHICH SIDE, OR IF BOTH.

I JUST TRIED TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE TODAY AND THE DEALER DECLINED IT DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE. I IN FACT HAD ALL THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE AND NEVER EVEN KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS 2004 RECALL! THANKS HONDA!!! DO THE NEW AIRBAGS NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THIS RECALL? CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF OF THE NHTSA WEBSITE SO I CAN SELL MY CAR?

TAKATA RECALL ON JULY 19, 2016 MY WIFE WAS RETURNING FROM A LUNCHEON ABOUT 2PM ON HWY 111 ON A SUNNY, DRY AFTERNOON FOLLOWING TRAFFIC WITHIN SPEED LIMITS WHEN TO THE BEST OF HER RECOLLECTION THE AIR BIG EXPLODED CAUSING PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY WIFE. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE' THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE ACCORD. ABOUT SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE ACCORD IN TO THE HONDA DEALER IN CATHEDRAL CITY AND REQUESTED THAT THE AIR BAG BE INSPECTED AS A WAS AWARE OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG WAS SAFE AND NOTHING WAS DONE ON THE CAR. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL WORK ON THIS AIR BAG (REPLACE PARTS) SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER AND THIS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

IN SPRING 2014 I CONTACTED US GOVT NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. AT WHICH TIME THEY INDICATED THAT HONDA HAD AN OPEN INVESTIGATION FOR AIR BAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYING. THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA AND MAKE I REPORT WHICH I DID. HONDA HAD ME CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH INDICATED THAT IT WOULD BE $395 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. I GOT BACK OF HOLD OF HONDA & TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE THEIR AIR BAG ALMOST KILLING MY DAUGHTER, WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILST DRIVING, NOT HITTING ANYTHING. FORTUNATELY FOR HER, IT WAS A SLOW SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND SHE WAS NOT HURT. TODAY I STOPPED AT HONDA CORTLAND OH APOSTILAKAS, I DIDN'T GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1600 IN MATERIALS AND AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF WORK HOURS TO PERFORM THE LABOR. AIR BAG DISABLES THE HEATER AND OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE CAR, THUS IT NEEDS REPLACED OR PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO USE MY CAR AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS AND SPENT ITS FIRST ELEVEN YEARS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS WHERE THE HEAT AND MOISTURE WAS PREVALENT AS ALLEGED IN THE REPORTS OF CAUSES FOR FAILURES OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS YET MY CAR IS NEVER LISTED IN THE RECALL LISTS. AND WITH THE RECENT URGINGS OF THE NHTSA FOR OLDER VEHICLES FROM THAT REGION BEING AMONG THOSE IN MOST URGENT NEED OF HAVING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED I AM CONSIDERING HAVING THEM REPLACED ANYWAY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY QUESTIONS ARE: WILL I BE REIMBURSED WHEN MY CAR IS FINALLY RECALLED AND WHY ISN'T MY CAR INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS?

"TAKATA RECALL" MY LOCAL PAPER STATED THAT YOU HAVE DECLARED ALL HONDA AIR BAGS TO BE UNSAFE, PARTICULARLY THOSE FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS LOCATED IN THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY ASSOCIATED WITH FLORIDA. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR IS "COMPLETELY SAFE". I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THANKS
