What Happened
The circuit board for your NSX's brake light is held in place by small metal screws. Over time, vibrations on the road could loosen these screws and cause the circuitry to short out.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake light fuse blows, your brake lights might not work, increasing the risk of a rear-end collision when you're stopped or slowing down.
Free Fix
Acura will replace your center high mount brake light's circuit board and secure it properly, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
