5 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Contaminated brake fluid can make a seal inside the part that pushes fluid to your brakes change shape. Once that seal is deformed, fluid leaks inside the part instead of doing its job, and the brakes get weaker. You could need more distance to stop than you expect, especially in an emergency. Honda dealers will replace that part for free. VIN lookup opens December 17, 2025, and owner letters were mailed May 4, 2026.
The fuel pump sits inside the gas tank and sends fuel to the engine. On these vehicles that pump can fail. When it does, the engine can stall while you are driving — losing power in traffic or on the highway raises the chance of a crash. A dealer will replace the entire fuel pump unit for free. This recall is an expansion of two earlier Honda fuel pump recalls covering additional vehicles.
The pump that pushes gasoline out of the fuel tank toward the engine sits inside the tank, and on these Honda and Acura vehicles it can stop working. When it fails, the engine can stall, meaning it shuts off while you are driving, and that can happen at any speed. Your dealer will replace the whole fuel pump assembly at no cost to you. This recall is a larger version of an earlier Honda recall, 20V-314.
Too much grease was used when the driveshaft was assembled. The grease can keep a small locking ring from snapping fully into place, so the driveshaft can pull apart from the half shaft that turns the wheel. If that happens, the car may suddenly stop pulling itself forward. It can also roll away on its own after you shift into Park, because the parking lock no longer holds the wheels through the driveshaft.
Certain 2014-2019 Acura ILX cars may have a fuel tank that is bent out of shape. That pushes the fuel pump up higher than it should sit and can make the float that measures your gas level stick in place. The result is a fuel gauge that shows more gas in the tank than you actually have. You could run out of gas and stall without expecting it. Dealers will inspect the tank and replace it if needed, free of charge.
