American Honda Motor Co. announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Acura RL. They stated that on certain passenger vehicles, prolonged high under-hood temperatures may cause the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely causing the hose to crack and leak power steering fluid.

Power steering fluid leaking onto a hot catalytic converter will generate smoke and posibly lead to an under-hood fire. Dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about December 17th, 2007. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-382-2238.
