Overview
- The action covers certain 2016–2020 Acura ILX vehicles sold in the United States.
- Honda reports contaminated brake fluid can swell a brake master cylinder seal, causing an internal leak that reduces braking and increases stopping distance.
- Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder at no charge, with interim owner notifications expected by February 2, 2026.
- The company estimates about 0.3% of the recalled vehicles—roughly 212 cars—may have the defect, and it has logged 192 related warranty claims with no crashes or injuries reported.
- The safety agency says the recall filing suggests Honda may have exceeded the five-business-day window for notifying regulators, a potential violation under federal law.
