Product Details

This Cardone Power Steering Reservoir is intended for vehicles where the reservoir is mounted away from the pump, such as on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump assembly. On 2008-2012 Honda Accord and 2010-2012 Honda Accord Crosstour / Crosstour applications, a clogged or cracked reservoir can be mistaken for a failing pump. Replacing the reservoir with Cardone 3R-209 can restore proper fluid flow and help address noise, foaming, or pressure-related steering complaints.

This part cross-references Honda 53701TA0A01 for the same application. Cardone 3R-209 is a practical replacement when servicing a Honda Accord power steering reservoir or a Honda Crosstour remote-mounted reservoir.

What It Can Help Fix

• Power steering fluid foaming caused by trapped air or restricted flow
• Noise from a clogged or contaminated remote reservoir
• Leaks from cracked reservoir bodies or hose tube areas
• Loss of steering assist related to poor fluid circulation
• Debris contamination from aging reservoir components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the reservoir location before ordering, since remote reservoirs can be mounted on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump depending on the vehicle. Inspect the inlet and return hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown, and bleed air from the system after installation to reduce foaming and cavitation. For best results, follow the vehicle-specific service manual for fluid replacement and bleeding procedures.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this reservoir to OE design standards and tests each unit for proper fit and function. The reservoir is made from OE-grade material and is built to resist heat-related cracking in the engine compartment.
