Recall 19V060 covers 437,032 2015-2019 Acura Mdx, Accord, and Tlx vehicles for reduced fuel pump performance. Repair is free at any franchised Acura dealer.
Acura is recalling 437,032 2015-2019 Mdx, Accord, and Tlx vehicles with 3.5L V6 engines because fuel particles can stick inside the fuel pump and reduce pump performance. That loss of fuel delivery can stall the engine and increase crash risk; Acura dealers will replace the fuel pump free of charge.

What's wrong?
The fuel pump in the 2015-2019 Acura Mdx, Accord, and Tlx vehicles with the 3.5L V6 engine moves gasoline from the tank to the engine at the pressure the fuel injection system needs. When the pump turns at the right speed, the engine gets a steady fuel supply for acceleration and normal driving.
In affected vehicles, sodium particulates from low quality fuel can stick to the brush and commutator inside the pump. Those parts help the pump motor spin. The buildup increases mechanical and electrical resistance, especially during low-voltage pump operation, so the pump slows and delivers less fuel. With less fuel flow, the engine can hesitate, accelerate roughly, or stall.
Honda did not identify a warning sign before the pump loses performance. There is no warning sign before failure. If the engine stumbles, accelerates roughly, or stalls, stop when safe and arrange dealer service.

What's the safety risk?

If the engine stalls, steer out of traffic, stop in a safe place, and call an Acura dealer for recall instructions. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Acura dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2019 Acura Mdx, Accord, or Tlx is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Acura dealer to schedule the free FI-ECU software update and fuel-pump check that address reduced fuel-pump performance and engine stall risk.
- Bring the owner notice if Acura mailed one, and reference recall number 19V060 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Stop in a safe place if the engine stalls, then call the dealer before moving the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Acura technician updates the fuel injection engine control unit software. If the inspection shows the fuel pump needs replacement, the technician replaces it as part of the recall. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Acura used its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign, so eligible documented repairs paid before the recall notice can be submitted for review. Bring receipts or other repair paperwork to the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
