Acura (Honda) has announced two separate recalls for its midsize TL sedan (2004-2008).
The first issue has to do with a windshield wiper issue. A potentially faulty circuit breaker on 129,600 2004 and 2005 TLs could fail thereby making the wipers inoperable.
The second issue involves a power steering hose that could break during high temperatures under the hood, which would then leak fluid onto the catalytic converter. This could lead to smoke or even a fire under the hood.
Luckily no injuries have been reported and Acura dealers are going to address both issues free of charge.

Acura recalls because they want to fix a rare problem,Ford covers up the issue until the courts make them do a recall.

When I was a kid I had a 2 door AMC Hornet (yeah, baby) that would spray power steering fluid on the exhaust manifold when you put the steering wheel all the way to its limit. Was a great trick in the high school parking lot. Lots of smoke. Teh chicks dug me.
