With struggling sales, the last thing Honda’s luxury division needs is a recall on their core car. Acura TL’s from 2004 and 2005 (129,600 of ’em) could suffer from failing windshield wipers. Another issue affects cars from the same period thru 2008: degrading power steering hoses -> cracking -> fluid leaking onto catalytic converter -> smoke & fire?
Get it taken care of if you’re a TL owner. Up to this point, nobody has been involved in accidents or injuries. Don’t be the first. Recently, GoodCarBadCar named the TL a Beauty for the Boss. Fortunately, the engineering of the power steering hose and windshield wiper circuit breaker didn’t need to be beautiful for the TL to garner
#5 on the list.
