What Happened
The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator in your vehicle is like a computer that helps control your brakes. It's got a small ball valve that could leak brake fluid, causing problems with your brakes.
Risk if Unfixed
If the VSA modulator leaks, your car could move unexpectedly when you're stopped, or the brake pedal might feel spongy. This could lead to a crash or injury, especially if you're not expecting it.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty VSA modulator with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, which was mailed on July 24, 2023.
