Acura and Honda Models Have Reduced Brake Performance high
On certain Acura MDX, Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, Honda HR-V, and Honda Odyssey vehicles, a coating inside the rear brake calipers may not have been applied correctly during manufacturing.

Over time, these gas pockets can reduce how well the brakes are able to slow or stop the vehicle, lowering overall braking performance.
