Honda is recalling certain Acura MDX and TLX vehicles because a software problem may cause them to lose power steering assistance. The recall also includes certain Honda Pilot vehicles. Dealers will update the power steering software to address the problem, and the repair is free. Honda expects to mail owner notification letters on December 14, 2026.
Honda is recalling certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, HR-V, Fit, Insight, Passport and the Acura TLX, RDX and MDX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short circuit. If that happens, the airbags can go off when they should not during a crash. Dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no cost. This recall expands an earlier recall.
The brake pedal in these vehicles is held in place by a pin that was not secured correctly. Because of this, the pedal can shift out of its normal position while the vehicle is being driven. When the pedal moves out of place, the driver may not be able to press the brakes the way they normally would, which can affect the vehicle's ability to slow down or stop.
Certain Acura TLX cars have a fuel filler neck and fuel tank that may not have been welded together properly during manufacturing. This improper welding can allow fuel to leak out of the tank. A fuel leak is a serious problem on its own, and it becomes especially dangerous if it happens near a possible source of ignition.
Honda is recalling certain 2020 through 2022 Honda and Acura vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and the Acura MDX, RDX and TLX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short out. When that happens, the system may not switch off the front passenger airbag when it is supposed to.
In a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles, the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails while you are driving, the engine can suddenly stall.
These vehicles have an engine part called a connecting rod bearing, and a manufacturing error affects it. Because of this defect, the bearing can wear down over time and eventually seize up inside the engine. When that happens, the engine can become damaged. A damaged engine may not run the way it should, and it could even stop working suddenly while the vehicle is being driven.
Honda says the tires on some Acura TLX vehicles may have been cut or torn during the sorting process. This tire damage can affect how the tires hold up on the road. Honda is recalling the affected vehicles so dealers can inspect the tires and replace them if necessary.
On many Honda and Acura models, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.
On certain Acura MDX, TLX, and Honda Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline vehicles, the teeth on the timing belt may separate from the belt. If the timing belt teeth separate, the engine may stall while driving. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the timing belt if it's affected. If a new timing belt is installed, the engine will also be inspected and any damaged parts will be replaced, all free of charge.
Certain Acura MDX and TLX vehicles have a problem with the fuel pump. Tiny particles in the fuel can stick to parts inside the pump over time, causing it to lose performance. When the fuel pump isn't working the way it should, it can make the engine stall while the vehicle is being driven. This kind of engine stall increases the risk of a crash, since it can happen while you are out on the road driving normally.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2019 Acura TLX has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2024 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 2. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
