Honda will recall 294,612 vehicles in the US to fix an issue that may cause engines to stall or suffer a loss of power, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The recall affects certain 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type-S, 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, and 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type-S vehicles.
A software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU) may cause an engine stall or a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, the US auto safety regulator said.
Dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge, it said.
Honda is recalling 295,000 Acura and Honda Pilot vehicles due to an engine issue that could cause the vehicles to stall unexpectedly. The recall affects certain 2019-2021 Acura MDX, 2019-2020 RDX, 2019-2020 RLX, and 2019-2020 Honda Pilot vehicles.
According to Honda, the problem stems from a manufacturing issue that could cause the fuel pump to fail, leading to a loss of engine power and potentially causing the vehicle to stall. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue, but Honda is urging affected owners to bring their vehicles to a dealership for inspection and repair.
Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by mail starting in mid-November. Honda will replace the fuel pump at no cost to the owner. In the meantime, Honda is advising owners to avoid driving their vehicles if they notice any unusual engine noise, hesitation, or stalling.
If you own one of the affected vehicles, be sure to contact your local Honda dealership to schedule an inspection and repair. Your safety is Honda’s top priority, and they are working diligently to address this issue as quickly as possible.
