What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

What Happened
The brake light switch in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps turn on your brake lights when you press the brake pedal. During manufacturing, this switch got some oil on it, which can damage its electrical contacts.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake light switch fails, your brake lights won't turn on when you press the pedal, making it harder for other drivers to see you're slowing down. This increases the risk of a crash, especially in low-light conditions.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your authorized Acura dealer will clean up any excess oil and replace the brake light switch for free. You'll get a notice soon, but if you want to schedule the repair, you can contact Acura directly at 1-800-382-2238.
