EXTERIOR LIGHTING Safety Recalls

Moderate #14V792000 Plain English
Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The headlight in your Acura RLX has a special reflective coating that helps the light shine brighter. But in some 2014 and 2015 models, this coating might peel off over time, reducing the light's brightness.
Risk if Unfixed
If the coating peels off, your headlight won't shine as brightly, making it harder for others to see you at night. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will replace both headlights with new ones that have a more reliable coating, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notification letter and should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as you can. This timing describes the original 2014 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

Original — What Happened
American Honda Motor Co. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Acura RLX vehicles manufactured November 22, 2012, to January 30, 2014, 2015 Acura RLX vehicles manufactured June 4, 2014, to November 18, 2014, and 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid vehicles manufactured November 5, 2013, to July 25, 2014. An aluminum film applied to the inner reflector of the headlight may experience adhesion issues causing the film to delaminate. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Delamination of the aluminum film may diminish output of the headlight, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Original — Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both of the headlights, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000. Honda's number for this recall is JN2.
