in the usa today it was announced a recall for 00-04 tl tranny.
also certain model accords. yeeha

Is it actually a recall this time? There is already a warranty extension on
the 00-03s.

Anything official yet, like recall number etc?

If you go to Acura.com and go to owners link; you have to be registered; it
will tell you if your vehicle has been affected..I have a 2003 TL and it
says there has been a recall and if my vehicle has been affected I will
receive notice in the mail by the end of July..That really sucks...This is
my very first brand new car and I really researched for a long time before
choosing my Acura..It really doesn't give you much confidence in buying a
luxury car if you spend alot of money on a vehicle and still have
problems!!!!

I checked my owner's link at Acura.com. Nothing listed as a recall for the 04 TL.

Recalls are not uncommon. It doesn't necessaraly mean that there is a
problem w/ your car. It just means that there is a potential for a problem
& they are being proactive in correcting it before it actually is a problem.

I have bought quite a few new cars & just had a recall on my '03 Odyssey.
They fixed the problem when I broght it in for something else. It was no
inconvenience to me at all.

So I wouldn't be that worried about this recall. Honda & Acura cars are
still some of the most reliable brands out there.

If you had researched a bit harder (Google groups and such), you would
have known about the Acura tranny problems.

I bought my 2001 TL regardless.

Just because yours wasn't recalled doesn't mean no '04's were recalled. Some
'04s ARE covered by the transmission recall.
