tl type s sequential automatic RECALL
i just thought i'd give you owners a heads up
i read in the los angeles times that tl transmissions seem to have a bearing that breaks down sending metal shavings through the transmission making it suddenly downshift from 5th to 2nd.
this is potentially dangerous (the person that it happened to was on the freeway) and its happened to a little more than 1% of tl owners if i'm not mistaken.
i suggest you get on the phone with your local dealers for more info. good luck

I've read the article also, but it said nothing about a recall, not even a bulletin. There's really nothing an owner can do if it's not issued, as far as the phone call, Acura will just tell you to bring it in if the problem occurs..........don't waste your time.

I've changed the topic line and made it a sticky so other members will get to see this thread.

Well, I am living proff that there is a problem. I just brought my 3.2 TL Type s to the dealership for a new transmission. The car has 25,000 miles on it. The problem is severe. I had to drive about 15 miles when the tranny went to get it to the dealership. They looked at it immediately and told me the problem. The real problem is that the transmissions are on backorder for 2-3 weeks and I have to drive a Chevy Tracker in the meantime!!!!
