What Happened
The fuel pump in your Acura MDX, TLX, or Honda Accord is like a crucial worker that delivers gasoline to your engine. In some 2015-2018 models with a 3.5L V6 engine, tiny particles in the fuel can clog up the pump and reduce its performance.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump can't do its job properly, your engine could stall while driving, which raises the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Honda will notify you, and your dealer will update the engine control software and replace the fuel pump, if needed, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it when you receive the notice.
