The recall affects certain 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type-S, 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, and 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type-S vehicles.

A software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU) may cause an engine stall or a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, the US auto safety regulator said. Stalling on a major highway at speed could lead to serious accidents or even death.

Dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge.

This is the third major Honda recall in less than a year. In October 2024, nearly 1.7 million Hondas were recalled because of steering problems. Another 700,000 were recalled at the same time because of fuel pump problems.

This recall follows an NHTSA investigation into engine failure in 1.7 million Hondas produced between 2016 and 2020, which was reported on November 10, 2024.
