Acura Recalling 167,000 TSX Models for Fire Hazard
Christopher Jenson reports, “Honda is recalling about 167,000 of its 2004–8 Acura TSX models because of a fire hazard.” (NY Times, 4/29). This is the third recall of an Acura model for a similar problem, now affecting almost 500,000 vehicles.
Honda said the fire hazard stems from “prolonged under-hood temperatures,” which may cause a crack in a house to the power steering, which would leak fluid and potentially create a fire hazard. The first report, according to Honda, of such a fire was last September, which prompted further investigation leading to a series of recalls.
As a products liability lawyer, I encourage all Acura drivers to monitor the recalls and ensure their vehicles are not affected.
