Honda is recalling nearly 295,000 vehicles due to software error
Honda is recalling nearly 295,000 vehicles in the United States due to a software error that may cause the engine to stall or lose power.
The auto manufacturer is recalling 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 may cause an engine stall or a loss of power, according to an announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Citing a news release from Honda, USA TODAY reports that due to improper programming of the fuel injection electronic control unit, “sudden changes in the throttle could illuminate the check engine light and cause the engine to lose drive power, hesitate and/or stall,” increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 17, 2025. Consumers with questions should contact Honda’s customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
