Honda has announced a recall affecting more than 294,000 vehicles due to a software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU). This issue could result in engine stalling or a loss of power, increasing the risk of an accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
What’s Causing the Recall?
A software defect in the fuel injection electronic control unit may lead to engine stalls or sudden power loss, both of which pose a significant safety risk. Drivers could experience unexpected shutdowns while in motion, making it difficult to maintain control of the vehicle.
Which Honda Vehicles Are Affected?
The recall applies to the following models:
- 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type-S
- 2023-2025 Honda Pilot
- 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type-S
In total, 294,612 vehicles are subject to the recall.
What Honda Owners Should Do Next
Honda will notify affected vehicle owners via mail beginning March 17, 2025. To remedy the issue, Honda dealers will update the FI-ECU software free of charge.
For further assistance, Honda owners can contact Honda’s customer service at 1-888-234-2138. The recall reference numbers are EL1 and AL0.
Until the software update is completed, drivers should be cautious of any sudden power loss and schedule a service appointment as soon as they receive the official recall notice.
How Honda Owners Can Take Back Control
While recalls have been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, just like this, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
