The 2007 Acura TL has two recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to the driver or passengers.
The second recall involves the high-pressure power steering hose, which can crack due to heat buildup under the hood. A cracked hose can leak fluid, reducing or eliminating power steering assist and making the vehicle harder to control. Leaking fluid that contacts a hot engine or exhaust component can also start a fire.
