Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Power steering supply hose on my honda prelude developed a leak at the connector clamp seal, and dripped fluid onto the hot exhaust manifold, causing smoke. honda had recalled the power steering supply hose which they installed in my car, but they told me that my car was not covered by the recall because it was manufactured four months after the "ending date of manufacture". my honda prelude is a 1989 model, but it was manufactured in august of 1988. please petition honda to extend their recall so that i, and other honda prelude owners, can be protected from this potential hazard. *ak
