The huge Japanese industrial giant that is Honda, announced it was recalling over 165,000 cars in the U.S. over engine problems. Very uncharacteristic for Honda, who have a reputation for making very reliable and well built engines. Their engines have a reputation of lasting forever.
Honda said the recall affected 2005 models of the Acura RL, TL and TSX sedans, 2005 Honda Accord coupes, sedans and hybrids, 2005 Odyssey minivans and 2006 Ridgeline trucks.
The move is part of a global recall because of similar problems, said Honda spokesman Chris Martin. Details on the total number of vehicles and the number of countries where the vehicles were sold were not immediately available, he said.
It seems the problem is a sealer material leaked onto a coil wire inside the fuel pump relay on some of the vehicles. The wire can become brittle and snap, causing the engine to stall or fail to start.
Honda dealers are ready to attend to the recall and it should be performed ASAP if this pertains to you. For more info give Honda a call at this number: 1-800-999-1009
