Vehicle speed control, accelerator pedalOct 10, 2019
Dorman Products, Inc. (Dorman) is recalling certain Accelerator Pedal Assemblies part numbers 699-114 and 825-5029-1, sold as replacement parts for 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2004-2008 Acura TL and TSX, 2003-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2006 Honda CR-V, 2007-2011 Honda Element, 2005-2008 Honda Pilot and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline vehicles.

If the accelerator pedal binds, the engine may not quickly return to idle after the pedal is no longer pressed, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dorman will notify owners, and qualified service facilities will replace the affected accelerator pedal assemblies, free of charge. The recall began December 9, 2019. Owners may contact Dorman customer service at 1-800-523-2492, using option 5. Dorman's number for this recall is AS1019XXXX.

Steering, hydraulic power assist, hose, piping, and connectionsMay 17, 2012
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.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DAUGHTER'S 2005 HONDA HYBRID'S AIRBAG INFLATORS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. WHEN I TYPE IN THE CAR'S VIN, NO OUTSTANDING ISSUES ARE LISTED. HOWEVER, WHEN I TYPE IN "2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID" AT THIS SITE, ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS ARE LISTED. WHY THE DISCREPANCY? WHY ARE AIRBAG ISSUES LISTED WHEN I TYPE IN THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT NO ISSUES ARE LISTED WHEN I TYPE IN THE VIN? SHOULD I BE ABLE TO SEE WHEN THE ISSUES WERE PRESUMABLY CORRECTED?

AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT I BEEN HAVING STEERING WHEEL NOISE AND IT SHAKES CONSTANTLY. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES, CHANGED POWER STEERING, PUMP, HOSE AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I GO TO DISCOUNT TIRES NEARLY EVERY TWO WEEKS TO GET TIRES REBALANCED EVEN IF ITS NEW. THEY STILL CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. CAR ALSO TURNS OFF SOMETIMES. HAPPPENED FIVE TIMES ALREADY. THE STEERING WHISTLE SOUND IS CONSTANT NOW AND WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF IT WAS ON THE STREET PARKED AND ALSO MAKING TURNS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE STIFF.
