I believe the power steering fix is the replacement of a hose.

yes, that what I told them to do. I called Acura Customer service to find out what the 150 pt inspection covered, and whether these items should have been addressed. For some items its pretty vaque. They said that "brake pads with 50% pad thickness should be replaced, but if they had 50.5% then they do not have to replace them." For brake rotors it simply says to check thickness, but gives no requirement.

I questioned how I am am suppose to know what these were at when I bought the car and they said that I should have recieved a completed checklist when I bought the car, or that it should have been in the glvoebox when I got the car, and there was none. I never saw any insepction checklist, and based on their finidngs, I'm questioning them on whether a real inspection was ever even done.

Anyway, Acura C/S seems to be in agreement with me, that the service they quoted me seems premature for a car that was certified 6 months ago that has been driven average miles, and are checking with the dealer to see whats going on. I'm really going to push for all of this to get done free of charge. We'll see what happens.

FYI. Found out that the power steering recall is just the hose replacement
