Recall: 53,000 Acura TL sedans

Posted:

DETROIT (WKOW) -- Honda says it's recalling nearly 53,000 Acura TL sedans to fix a problem with power steering hoses.

Safety officials say the hoses can deteriorate over time and leak fluid. That can cause the cars to lose power steering or even cause a fire.

The sedans included in the recall are from the 2007 and 2008 model years. Honda says there have been no reported crashes, injuries or fires related to the problem.

In 2008, Honda recalled 273,000 TLs for a similar problem. They were from the 2004 through 2008 model years.

Officials say owners will get letters in mid-June telling them to take their cars to an Acura dealer.
