2002 Acura 3.2 CL

The second generation CL coupe was introduced spring 2000 as an early 2001 model and now was a 2-door version of the bestselling second generation 3.2 TL sedan on the same platform (shared with the Accord, Odyssey and MDX), built on the same assembly line in Ohio and more or less the same from the front compartment forward (though the CL was slightly shorter and rear compartment space was smaller, being a "2+2" (and not a five seater) in the EPA compact class, with the TL as midsize). Offered both in standard and high performance Type-S models, the latter with a 260 HP variant of the 3.2 V6 (rated at 225 HP in standard configuration). The CL continued into 2002 unchanged, with revised 2003 models debuting early in March 2002.

DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


Posted on: 2004-04-20
Description
On some mini vans, sport utility and passenger vehicles, certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage.  

Consequence
Gear failure could result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash.  

Corrective Action
On vehicles with 15,000 miles or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to the second gear.  On vehicles with more than 15,000 miles, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating.  If discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced if discoloration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line.  The recall began on april 21, 2004, for pilot, odyssey, and mdx owners.  Owners of the accord vehicles will start receiving letters on june 28, 2004, and on june 29, 2004, for owners of the tl and cl vehicles.  Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238.  

Notes
Honda recall nos.  P30 (odyssey and pilot),p31 (mdx), p38 (accord) and p39 (acura).customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

DEFECT #2 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE


Posted on: 2020-01-21
Description
Honda (american honda motor co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 acura 3.2cl, 2000-2003 acura 3.5rl, 2000-2001 acura 3.2tl, honda cr-v and honda odyssey, 2001-2002 acura mdx and 2000 accord coupe, accord sedan, civic coupe, and civic sedan vehicles.  These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair.  Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement nadi inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.

Consequence
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants.  An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant.  These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.

Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began october 1, 2020.  Owners may contact american honda's customer support & campaign center at 1-888-234-2138.  

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
