What Happened
The tailgate lid light assembly in your Acura MDX is a complex system that includes lights and wiring. Moisture can seep into this system and cause the lights to stop working, including your lid lights, position lights, license plate lights, and taillights.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lights in your MDX fail, it could be harder for other drivers to see you, especially at night, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will inspect the wiring, replace the lid light, and repair the body dust sealer, all at no cost to you. This repair is free, so schedule it as soon as you get your recall notice.
