Honda Motor Co. has issued two separate recalls for its Acura TL sedan. The recalls stem from a problem with the windshield wiper motor and a faulty power steering hose – which due to high temps can melt and leak power steering fluid, which can leak onto the catalytic converter and cause a fire.

The power steering hose recall encompasses 273,000 2004-2008 Acura TLs. The recall involving a circuit breaker failure in the wiper motor involves 129,600 2004-2005 TLs.

No accidents have been reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

I’ve always like Acuras, but the last two generations of TL’s have left me scratching my head.
