What Happened
The brake pedal pivot pin in your Acura or Honda is a small metal rod that keeps the brake pedal in place. In some 2021-2025 models, this pin wasn't properly secured, which can cause the pedal to shift.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pedal shifts, you might not be able to press it down hard enough to stop your vehicle quickly. This could lead to a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the brake pedal assembly and replace it if necessary – at no cost to you.
