Acura has issued a recall for certain model years of the TLX and MDX due to a rod bearing defect that may result in engine failure.
Affected vehicles include 2015-2020 Acura TLX V6 models and 2016-2020 Acura MDX models. A defect in the engine's crankshaft can cause the connecting rod bearing to wear prematurely, potentially seizing and leading to major engine damage. In some cases, this can result in engine failure, stalling, or difficulty starting your Acura.
Experiencing engine failure while driving poses a serious safety risk, and Acura strongly recommends that owners of impacted vehicles have their car inspected and repaired at an authorized Acura dealership. Repairs, including engine replacement if necessary, are provided at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Not every TLX or MDX is affected, so it's important to confirm your vehicle's status. You can check for recalls by entering your VIN in the Acura Recall Lookup tool.
