Acura Recalls 76,000 TSX Models For Short Circuiting ECU Modules

Honda is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Acura TSX vehicles originally sold in, or currently registered in, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. In states that use corrosive materials for deicing, driver's footwear may bring in materials that saturate the vehicle's carpeting, which is in contact with the vehicle's engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU). As a result, the ECU case may experience rust or corrosion. This damage may potentially cause the engine to stall.

for those keeping score lately.

I know this sounds like a design defect... but since they recalled them it doesn't count. If they didn't recall the car it would be in the Consumer Reports reliability ratings and we can't have that happen.

Good one and you are absolutely correct! Just recall everything wrong with the car in order to ensure you stay at the top of those worthless publications.
