Overview

  • The recall affects 2021–2025 Acura TLX, 2023–2025 Acura MDX and 2023–2025 Honda Pilot models in the US.
  • A poorly staked brake pin can allow the pedal to shift out of position, potentially blocking brake use and raising crash risk.
  • Honda opened an investigation in April 2024 after a report of unintended pedal movement and confirmed the defect on June 5, 2025.
  • The issue originated at a now-closed US plant and the new Mexico facility now uses camera sensors to verify pin installation.
  • There have been three warranty claims related to the defect with no reported injuries or deaths, and Honda estimates about 1% of recalled vehicles may be affected.
