2018 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.
