Acura TSX in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Acura TSX is named on 4 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, the wiring harness located in the trunk hinge area is not adequately protected and, over time, could be damaged when the trunk is opened and closed. A damaged harness can cause a blown fuse or an open circuit; either results in a loss of licence plate light, back up light and/or tail light function. All affected lights are on the trunk lid. The portion of the light assembly on the rear quarter panel, which includes a tail light, a brake light and a turn signal, are not affected. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear wire harness. If any damage is found, the harness will be replaced. If no damage is found, the dealer will install corrugated plastic tubing over the harness to prevent damage.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2004324.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Acura TSX, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on an Acura: 106 in the register, and 449 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2004.
