The Los Angeles Times (5/18, Hirsch) reports, “American Honda Motor Co. said it will recall 52,615 model year 2007-2008 Acura TL sedans in the United States to replace the power-steering hose.” Honda said that the “hose may deteriorate and leak fluid” which could “cause a loss of power-steering assistance or, if it leaks onto a catalytic converter, may result in smoke or in the worst case, fire.” The Times adds that “no crashes, injuries or fires have been reported related to this issue.”
