What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is responsible for delivering gasoline from the tank to the engine. In some 2015-2019 Acura TLX, 2016-2018 Acura MDX, and 2015-2017 Honda Accord models with a 3.5L V6 engine, tiny particles in the fuel can accumulate inside the pump and reduce its performance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump's performance is compromised, your engine could stall unexpectedly while you're driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the engine control unit software to prevent future problems, and they'll also replace the fuel pump if needed - all at no cost to you. You'll get a notification with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
