CHICAGO: Honda is launching a recall of approximately 167,000 Acura TSX vehicles to replace a power steering hose, Honda Motor Co said on its website.

The recall is being conducted due to the potential for premature deterioration of the exterior surface of the hose as a result of prolonged exposure to high under-hood temperatures. In the event of excessive deterioration, a crack in the hose could develop, which could allow power steering fluid to leak or spray on a hot exhaust component potentially generating smoke or a fire.
Honda has only received notice of one incident resulting in a fire, it said.
