Honda and Acura have announced a recall affecting several models due to a brake issue that could compromise the strength or full use of the brakes.
According to the official recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem stems from improper assembly of the tie rod fastener that connects the brake master cylinder and the brake booster.
When the brake is applied, the documents explain, the tie rod studs may break, causing the master cylinder to separate from the brake booster.
This manufacturing problem could cause the brakes to weaken or fail altogether, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda says it has received two warranty claims related to the problem but has received no notice of any accidents or injuries. Owners can consult the NHTSA recalls website to learn if their vehicle is included in the recall, and Honda will send recall notices in August.
The recall encompasses the Honda Civic (2020–2021), Passport (2021–2023), Pilot (2021–2022), and Ridgeline (2020–2023) and a single Acura model, the MDX (2020).
