Manufacturer: Honda (american Honda Motor Co.)
Description:
Honda is recalling 129,600 my 2004-2005 acura tl vehicles. if water enters the windshield wiper motor breather port, which is designed to allow the motor to vent warm air during normal operation, it can result in corrosion inside the motor housing. this could cause a failure of the electrical circuit breaker inside the motor housing.
Consequencs:
If the circuit breaker fails, it will cause the windshield wiper motor to become inoperative, which can increase the likelihood of a crash in certain conditions.
Notes:
Dealers will inspect the windshield wiper motor for signs of corrosion. if no signs of corrosion are present, a snorkel tube will be added to the wiper motor breather port to prevent water from entering the wiper motor housing and foam tape will be installed on the cowl above the wiper motor to direct water away from the wiper motor. if signs of corrosion damage are observed on the wiper motor, the motor will be replaced, and the breather tube and foam tape will also be installed to prevent water intrusion on the new wiper motor. the recall began on april 28, 2008. owners may contact acura at 1-800-382-2238.
