What Happened
The driveshaft is like a long rod that connects your transmission to your wheels. In your 2016-2019 Acura ILX, the driveshaft's connection to the half shaft could be compromised if it gets too much grease.
Risk if Unfixed
If the driveshaft separates from the half shaft, your vehicle could lose power while driving or roll away even when you're in Park. This could lead to a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will inspect and replace the driveshaft and half shaft, free of charge, as soon as you get the recall notice. This repair is on the house, so don't hesitate to schedule it.
