Recall 04V-429: 2004 Acura TSX
HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Sep 3, 2004, covering about 40,060 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger cars, the wire harness located in the trunk hinge area is not adequately protected and over time could be damaged when the trunk is opened and closed.
The risk
A damaged harness can cause a blown fuse, a short circuit and it can result in a loss of license plate lights, back-up lights and tail light function. Loss of a tail light could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the harness and if any damage is found, the harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, dealers will install corrugated plastic tubing over the harness to prevent future damage. The recall began on september 15, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Honda recall no. P45. Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
