TORRANCE, Calif. –

Acura said last week it will voluntarily recall approximately 76,000 model-year 2004 through 2008 TSX sedans in 22 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.

Officials said the campaign stems from the need to install a water resistant cover over the electronic control unit at no cost to the client.

“In cold-weather states where road salt is heavily used, it is possible for road salt and water from drivers' shoes to saturate the carpet under the vehicle dashboard that covers the metal case containing the ECU,” Acura officials said.

“If water containing road salt comes in contact with the metal ECU case, corrosion can form, which, if it becomes significant over time, can damage the ECU itself and potentially result in a vehicle stalling,” they continued.

Acura said no crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue.

Acura is announcing this recall to encourage owners of all affected vehicles to take their vehicles to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Acura. Mailed notification to clients will begin in mid-April.

In addition to contacting clients by mail, at that time, owners of these vehicles can determine if their vehicles require repair by going online to www.recalls.acura.com or by calling (800) 382-2238, and selecting option No. 4.
