Honda has issued a recall for approximately 295,000 vehicles, including certain Acura models, due to concerns with the engine’s fuel injection system. The issue involves the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU) software, which may not function properly, leading to potential engine performance problems. Specifically, if the software is not updated, the vehicle may experience a range of issues such as the check engine light illuminating, a loss of engine power, hesitation, or even stalling, all of which could impact the vehicle’s drivability and safety.
To address the issue, Honda is offering a free software update for all affected vehicles. The company has committed to contacting owners of impacted vehicles by mail starting in March, providing instructions on how to resolve the problem.
The recall affects several models, including the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, the 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type S, and the 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type S. Owners of these vehicles are advised to have the software updated as soon as they are notified.
As of now, Honda has stated that there have been no confirmed reports of accidents or injuries related to the software issue, but the recall serves as a precautionary measure to prevent any potential safety hazards. The company continues to work with dealers and owners to ensure that the necessary updates are completed promptly and without cost to the vehicle owners.
Honda’s swift action to issue the recall underscores its commitment to vehicle safety, and the update will help ensure that affected vehicles perform as intended, minimizing the risk of any engine-related disruptions while driving.
