UNITED STATES -- Honda is recalling nearly 600,000 Accords because of a faulty power steering hose, which the automaker says could leak fluid and catch fire.

The recall affects Accords from the 2003 through 2007 model years with V6 engines. The company says it will replace the hoses for free, but won't have the parts available until early 2013.

Any owner who suspects a leak should take their car to a dealer.
