Honda is recalling nearly 295,000 vehicles, including certain Acura models, due to a fuel system computer issue that can cause the check engine light to turn on and the car to lose power, hesitate, or stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Due to improper programming of the fuel injection electronic control unit, sudden changes in the throttle opening may cause the defect to occur. Honda says it self-diagnosed the issue by analyzing vehicle data and determined the affected cars need a software update.
As of Jan. 16, the company had received 674 warranty claims but no reports of injuries or crashes, according to a document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Honda:
Acura:
Registered owners of the affected models will receive a notification by mail in March, instructing them to visit an authorized Honda or Acura dealer for a free software update. Owners are encouraged to have the repair completed as soon as they receive the notice.
Owners who previously paid for related repairs may be eligible for reimbursement.
To determine if your vehicle is affected by this recall or any other recall input your Vehicles Identification Number (VIN) at NHTSA.gov./recalls.
