2017 Acura ILX recalls
Contaminated Brake Fluid Can Cause Reduced Braking
Certain 2016-2020 Acura ILX vehicles may have contaminated brake fluid.
Fuel pump may fail and stall engine while driving
The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
Driveshaft May Separate, Causing Loss of Drive or Rollaway
Excess grease can keep the set-ring on the half shaft from fully engaging, so the driveshaft may separate from the half shaft.
Fuel Gauge May Read Too High, Risking Sudden Stall
A deformed fuel tank can raise the fuel pump height and let the fuel level float stick, so the fuel gauge may show more gas than is actually in the tank.

What owners report
I have a recall on my Acura 2017 ILX. I called Bergstrom Acura Appleton in Wisconsin to make an appointment. Ashley said it would take about 2 hours. Trying to get a loaner car out of her was like pulling teeth. A week before service would have taken place, she called back and said that there was a diagnostic fee with the recall. I tried to retrain her about manufacturing problems are the dealership not mine. She would not budge. Donât know what they are holding over this poor girl to get her to act in such a unprofessional, incompetent, undignified manner.
I have a master cylinder brake recall and I have taken my car to the Acura of Fort Myers dealership and they said they canât fix the issue because parts are not available. I should receive a second notification from Acura Automobile Division when parts will be available and they wonât be available until spring of 2026 . I need my car to drive around and my concern is my safety driving the car with this recall. Can I buy the parts and have Acura reimburse me the money ? Please let me know , my phone number is [XXX] my name is [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I received notice of this brake master cylinder recall on 12/20/25 and tried to schedule it at my local dealership (1/5/26) Edmonds, WA. They told me they could not perform the recall because they did not have the parts. I was in the dealership on 1/10/26 and they told me they would check into it. Today I received a VM saying they would not perform the recall because the brake booster has not yet failed. This seems like a safety issue - am I supposed to have an accident in order to get this resolved?
