What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is what delivers gasoline from the tank to your engine. In your 2015-2019 Acura TLX or 2016-2018 Acura MDX or 2015-2017 Honda Accord with a 3.5L V6 engine, tiny particles in the fuel might stick to the inside of the pump, making it work less efficiently.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump's performance is reduced, your engine could stall while driving, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the computer system that controls your fuel injection and, if needed, replace the fuel pump at no charge to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
