2002 Acura TL recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: sedans equipped with an "auto-up" power window feature on the driver's door. The driver's side power window control unit CAN fail, and depending on the failure mode, the window could become inoperative, open or close independent of switch activation, or the auto-reverse system may not operate.
💥 The risk
The auto-reverse system failure could result in occupant injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the power window control unit. Owner notification began may 21, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact acura at 1-800-999-1009.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
