Default Honda Recalling All 2000-2004 TL's and 2001-2003 CL's

My service advisor got an e-mail in his inbox this morning and shared the news with me.

A month after announcing the recall on the MDX, they're now doing the TL's and CL's. This is a HUGE recall when you put it into persepctive, I know my work will be flooded, as the MDX's are pretty overwhelming as is.

Basically they examine the internals of the transmission to look for internal damage caused by heat. If is damaged, they replace the transmission. If not, they install a cooling line.

This also effects the 2002+ Odyssey's, 2002+ Pilots and 2003+ Accord V6 automatics.

This is worthy of a sticky.

I'll do some research on this and see if we can get something up in front.

Hmmm, it sounds like an email sent out as a result of the voluntary recall announced back on the 29th of June.

I got my 2004 TL this May, and it started to show some symptoms : every morning once a small 'click' in 1st or 2nd gear and that is it, no problems all day after that.
Took the car in to the dealer, but they can not re-produce it. The dealer claim that my transmission is not (should not be) affected.
So, how many of 2004 TL are affected ?
Had good feeling on Acura before, but now I am not too sure with all these transmission recalls.
Any help/comments, appreciated.

I wouldn't worry if I were you. I personally haven't heard of any 04TLs having tranny problems.
