THE DASH IS PREMATURLY CRACKING CAUSING PIECES TO BECOME POTENTIAL PROJECTILES IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THE CRACKS MAY POSSIBLY ALSO CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY. ALSO THE POWERSTEERING PUMP IS LEAKING FLUID SEVERELY. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR EVERY 2007 AND 2008 TL, BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED THE TYPE S WHICH IS NOW SHOWING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND POSSIBLE FIRE RISK DUE TO THE LEAKS. THE CAR ALSO HAS PREMATURE WEAR ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND NOW BEEDS MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED.

I AM REPORTING THIS TODAY AS I FEAR FOR SAFETY CONCERNS ON MY 2007 ACURA TL TYPE S. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED A CRACK FORMING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOY AREA. THIS CRACK IS FORMING PERFECTLY AROUND THE FAULT DASH WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. I FEAR FOR SAFETY AS IF THIS CRACK COMPLETELY FORMS AROUND THE AIRBAG BLAST AREA THAT A MALFUNCTION MAY HAPPEN AND THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY ITSELF. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATION TO HAPPEN IF POSSIBLE AS I WOULD NOT WANT THE AIRBAG TO SELF DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. IF I CAN BE ANY HELP IN THIS INVESTIGATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW BUT I DO FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY ACURA.

THE DASHBOARD, IN THE AREAS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, IF BEGINNING TO CRACK. DUE TO THE CRACK APPEARING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, SEEMING TO OUTLINE THE AIRBAG LOCATED UNDER THE DASH, I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL ACURA DEALER AND AM WAITING FOR THEM TO NOTIFY ME REGARDING "NEXT STEPS."
