Acura and Honda brake pedal can shift out of position

NHTSA campaign 25V391000 · Reported 2025-06-12 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious — a pedal that moves out of place can keep you from braking as intended and raises the risk of a crash or injury; Honda has not told owners to stop driving, but get the inspection done right away.

What's wrong, in plain English

The brake pedal in these Acura and Honda models is held in place by a small pin, and that pin was not fastened correctly at the factory. Over time the pedal can slip out of its normal position. If that happens, pressing the pedal may not slow or stop the vehicle the way you expect. Honda also says the affected vehicles do not meet federal rules for brake systems and for lamps and reflectors.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Call an Acura or Honda dealer, or Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 (recall numbers FLX and XLY), to book an appointment.
3. Have the dealer inspect and, if needed, replace the brake pedal assembly — the repair is free.
