| I have a 2008 acura tl type-s. there is a safety recall for the power steering hose for this model, however the vin of my car is not covered. i am experiencing the issue with the power steering hose leaking (verified by an acura dealership). i called acura and they said that even though i am experiencing the same issue as cars that are covered under the recall, my car is not covered. i know from reading reports from other tl owners who have had the same issue, the hose on my car does not have the hose with the heat-shield that is installed when the recall work is performed, thus my car has the defective hose and should be covered. | |||

| My car is a 2008 acura tl with 2000 miles. it had a major engine failure to quote the acura dealer. a piston rod broke and destroyed the engine along with the oil pan. i was told this is extremely rare if ever that it has happened. i was also told this information was passed along to the highest levels of the acura corporation. when the engine died i was on a busy road and had to be pushed into a parking lot. the car had to be towed 120 miles away since i do not live close to a dealer. i had to have someone drive me to the dealership to pick up a loaner car. i asked for a new car, instead i was told that i was only entitled to an engine replacement. this seems out of line considering the extreme damage the car suffered. if i were acura, i would be concerned that this is either metal fatigue or human error in assembly. either, would certainly call into question other cars that were produced on that assembly line. *tr | |||
