What Happened
The water pump in your vehicle has a part called the timing belt tensioner pulley that keeps the timing belt in place. Unfortunately, it's not aligned correctly on some V6 engines, which could cause the timing belt to rub against the cylinder head.
Risk if Unfixed
If the timing belt breaks, your engine will suddenly shut off, making it hard to control your vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will inspect the water pump, and if it's one of the faulty ones, they'll replace it and the timing belt for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and if you experience any issues, contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or Acura at 1-800-382-2238.
