NHTSA Complaint #10453220 — 2008 ACURA TL

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. *TR
