What's wrong, in plain English

Some Acura ILX vehicles have too much grease in a part called the half shaft. The excess grease can prevent a set-ring from fully engaging, which can allow the driveshaft to come apart from the half shaft.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact an Acura dealer at 1-888-234-2138 for an inspection.
3. The driveshaft and half shaft will be replaced, if needed, free of charge.

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

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. 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 19V424000.
