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.

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. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

LUCKLY THE INSIDE COVER WAS CLOSED, SO THAT THE GLASS SHARDS DID NOT DROP ONTO ME WHILE DRIVING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT HAVE ANY LAMINATION ON IT TO KEEP IT FROM FALLING INTO SHARDS.

POWER STEERING HOSE RECALL. TOOK VEHICLE TO HODA DEALERSHIP TO FIX DAMAGED HOSE FOR THE RECALL. LEAKING HOSE CAUSED PUMP TO MALFUNCTION DUE TO NOT ENOUGH FLUID OR PRESSURE GOING OR PRESSURE GOING INTO PUMP. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DETERMINED THAT THE HOSE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PUMP LEAK. I HAVE THE REPORT FROM HONDA STATING THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER SO I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL AFTER SMOKE APPEARED ON THE HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. HONDA DID AN INVESTIGATION AND DENIED ANY REPAIRS ON THE PUMP. HONDA ONLY FIXED HOSE AND TRIED UP SELLING THE REPAIRS FOR THE PUMP.
