The 2008 Acura TL has two recalls, the most serious being a defective driver's side airbag inflator that can explode during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin and causing serious injury or death.
The second recall involves the power steering hose, which can crack and leak fluid onto the catalytic converter. That contact can produce smoke and potentially start an under-hood fire.
