What Happened
The fuel tank in your Acura ILX is where you store gasoline. Over time, it might become misshapen, which could cause the fuel gauge to show the wrong level.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel gauge says you have more gas than you actually do, your vehicle could run out of fuel while driving, which could cause it to stall. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will inspect the fuel tank and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification when it's time to schedule the repair.
