Recall Alert: Honda, Acura Brake Failure

Aug 08, 2023

Honda and its Acura luxury division have issued a recall for about 124,000 vehicles because their brakes can fail suddenly.

Included in the recall are some, but not all, examples of the:

The company tells federal safety regulators that two parts in the braking system — the brake master cylinder and brake booster assembly — may not have been properly connected. If they separate from each other, “the driver may experience diminished, or loss of, brake function.”

The company “does not believe a warning can occur.”

Thankfully, Honda says it is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to the issue and has received just two warranty claims over it.

Dealers will inspect the braking system to see if the parts are connected properly, connect them correctly if they are not, and replace any suspect parts.
