Honda Recalls 295,000 Honda, Acura Vehicles
[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]
Honda said it is voluntarily recalling about 295,000 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to update the fuel injection electronic unit, a device that determines how much fuel enters the engine.
The recalls affect the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type S and 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type S, the automaker said.
The fuel injection electronic unit was improperly programmed, Honda said. Sudden changes in the throttle — a valve that controls the amount of air that enters the engine, according to carfax.com — could light up the check engine light and cause the engine to lose power, stop and/or stall. This could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
As of Jan. 29, “American Honda has not received any confirmed reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue,” the company said.
Honda said it “self-diagnosed” the issue with the fuel injection electronic unit by monitoring data from its vehicles. The company determined there was a need to perform a software update on the fuel injection electronic control unit.
