Campaign:
04V429000 on 09/02/2004
Component:
Exterior lighting:tail lights
Manufactured:
01/14/2003 - 06/28/2004
Affected:
40,060
Defect:
On certain passenger cars, the wire harness located in the trunk hinge area is not adequately protected and over time could be damaged when the trunk is opened and closed.
Consequence:
A damaged harness can cause a blown fuse, a short circuit and it can result in a loss of license plate lights, back-up lights and tail light function. loss of a tail light could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the harness and if any damage is found, the harness will be replaced. if no damage is found, dealers will install corrugated plastic tubing over the harness to prevent future damage. the recall began on september 15, 2004. owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Notes:
Honda recall no. p45. customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Component:
Steering:hydraulic power assist:hose, piping, and connections

Defect:
Honda is recalling certain model year 2004 through 2008 acura tsx passenger vehicles manufactured between september 25, 2002 and february 13, 2008. prolonged 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.
Consequence:
Oil leaking onto a hot exhaust pipe will generate smoke and a burning smell, and could potentially result in an under hood fire.
Correction:
Honda will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began may 28, 2010. owners may contact acura client services at 1-800-382-2238.
