Known issues on the 2002 CL. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first (20V027000) covers the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module: in a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments. The second (04V176000) covers the automatic transmission, where gear failure could result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash. Owners have filed 71 complaints on the 2002 CL and Acura has issued 130 technical service bulletins for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are covered here.
From a routine service interval to a supplemental restraint system diagnosis or an automatic transmission overhaul, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2002 CL.
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.
Remedy
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.
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.
Remedy
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 L

ACURA IS KNOWINGLY PUTTING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS. WHEN MY FIRST TRANS WENT OUT, I WAS DOING 50 MPH ON LAKE SHORE DR. AND IF I WEREN'T WEARING MY SEATBELT, I WOULD'VE GONE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW ALL THESE TRANS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THE 1ST ONE @ 103,000 MILES AND SAID THEY WOULD "GOOD WILL" THESE TRANS AS LONG AS IM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MY HUSBAND WAS A MASTER TECH. MECHANIC AT ACURA FOR 10 YRS. AND SAID THEY NEVER CAME OUT WITH A GOOD TRANS. FOR THES

FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND ACURA INSISTS THERE IS NO DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS ONE OTHER CL TYPE S AT MY DEALER WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AS WELL. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS THESE FAILURES MAY CAUSE. I AM ON MY SECOND TRANSMISSION, BUT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE ON THEIR 3RD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO. ALOT OF INFO AVAILABLE ON THIS AT WWW.ACURA-CL.COM..
MY PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES AND NOW AGIAN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NEW DEALER AND ITS IN FOR A NEW TRANNY AT 36,300 MILES. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING TO HEAR. I ALSO HAVE HAD WARPED ROTORS AT ABOUT 13,000 WHICH I HAD TO PAY OVER 500 DOLLARS IN REPAIR WITH ACURA. WHICH THIS PROBLEM IS REPEATING. I AM VERY DISTURBED BECAUSE TODAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR DOWN SHIFTED UNEXPECTLY AND THE RPMS JOLTED UP WHICH FORCED MY CAR TO REA
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 ACURA 3.2 CL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND EXHIBITED A HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT COULD SMELL TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNING. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.
ACURA RSX TYPE S WITH A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS POORLY INTO 2ND GEAR. IT IS EXCESSIVELY NOTCHY AND GRINDS IF FORCED INTO GEAR. ONLY 2ND GEAR IS AFFECTED. THE PROBLEM IS THE WORST WHEN COLD, BUT NEVER SUBSIDES EVEN WHEN WARM. THE NOTCHY GRIND SEEMS TO WORSEN AS THE CAR BECOMES MORE BROKEN IN. IT IS BRAND NEW WITH 250 MILES ON IT. *AK
THIS FAULT ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNING AND ON COLD DAYS. AFTER 30 MIN., IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. *AK
WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THEIR IS A NOTCHY GRINDING OF THE GEAR. USUALLY GOES AWAY AFTER CAR WARMS UP, BUT HAPPENS WHEN ITS COLD. SO WHEN UPSHIFTING FROM FIRST, THE SECOND GEAR GRINDS.
ROTORS ARE WARPING PREMATURELY. AS A RESULT, WHEN APPLYING BRAKES A GRINDING NOISE IS PRODUCED. THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE SOLUTION. *AK
NO REAL TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT THIS TIME, WANTED NHTSA BE AWARE OF A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN THIS MODEL: GRINDING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. *AK
