What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included in this recall.
2. Contact your Acura dealer, or call Acura customer service at 1-888-234-2138, to schedule a repair appointment.
3. The repair, including the software update and fuel pump replacement if needed, is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V060000.
