Acura Service News
This is a monthly newsletter sent to dealers. They include tips and tricks for working on Acuras, service manual corrections or changes, news on new/updated parts, and fixes for common problems that don't always get their own TSB. Only articles relating to the Legend will be posted here. Some of them are of little use to owners, as they are written for dealers and their service departments. Also, some articles refer to a specific year or range of years of Legends, this does not necessarily mean newer model cars are excluded, as newer models may not have existed yet at the time the article was written.
