What this recall means for you
Excess grease can keep the set-ring on the half shaft from fully engaging, so the driveshaft may separate from the half shaft.
If the driveshaft separates, the vehicle can lose drive power, or it can move even while in Park, which raises the risk of a crash or injury.
Acura will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driveshaft and half shaft and replace them if needed, at no cost to you. To check whether your vehicle is affected, enter your VIN at NHTSA's recall lookup or contact Acura customer service at 1-888-234-2138 (Acura recall G54).
