What NHTSA recorded

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.

Possible consequence

Power steering fluid leaking onto a hot catalytic converter will generate smoke and possibly lead to an under-hood fire.

Remedy

Dealers will install a new heat resistant power steering hose free of charge. The recall began on december 12, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 800-382-2238.
