3 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.
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.
Water can get inside the lights mounted on the tailgate of these Acura MDX models. The moisture can knock out those tailgate lights and the main taillights along with them. With your taillights out, drivers behind you have a much harder time seeing your vehicle, especially at night or in bad weather, and that raises the chance someone runs into you. The dealer will rework or replace the tailgate lights.
The pistons inside the rear brakes were not coated the way they should have been. That can let gas pockets form, and gas squeezes down when you press the brake pedal instead of pushing the brakes firmly against the wheel. The result is weaker braking than the vehicle is supposed to have, so it may take longer than normal to stop. These vehicles do not meet the federal braking standard. The fix is free.
