Safety Recall: 2004-08 TSX Power Steering Feed Hose Leak
BACKGROUND
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 fluid. Power steering fluid leaking onto a hot exhaust pipe will generate smoke and could lead to an under-hood fire.
CLIENT NOTIFICATION
All owners of potentially affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. An example of the client notification is at the end of this service
bulletin.
To verify vehicle eligibility, check at least one of these items:
^ The client has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the seventh character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this campaign has
already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. According to federal law, these vehicles cannot be sold until they are
repaired. To see if a vehicle is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
Some of the vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be inspected, and repaired if needed, before
they are sold or leased. To see if a vehicle is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it, leasing it, or returning it to a service
client.
Should an unrepaired vehicle that was in inventory, or that came in for service after this service bulletin was issued, cause an injury or property damage
because of the campaigned item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American
Honda for any resulting claims.
