Acura ZDX brakes can release pressure without warning

NHTSA campaign 24V614000 · Reported 2024-08-15 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious, because you could suddenly lose the ability to brake with no warning, so get this fixed immediately even though the notice does not tell owners to park the car.

What's wrong, in plain English

On some 2024 Acura ZDX All-Wheel Drive models, the anti-lock brake system can switch on when it should not and let go of the pressure in the brakes. If that happens while you are slowing down, you can lose braking power with no warning. The fix is a software update for the brake control computer. It can either arrive over the air to the car itself or be installed by a dealer. Owner letters were mailed September 26, 2024.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your ZDX is affected. 2. Look for the over-the-air update on your car's screen and accept it, or call your Acura dealer or 1-800-382-2238 about recall UJE. 3. Make sure the free update is installed and confirmed.
