What's wrong?
The ABS on the 2024 Acura Zdx all-wheel drive model is designed to help the tires keep grip during hard braking. Its Electronic Brake Control Module, or EBCM, is the computer that reads wheel-speed information and controls brake pressure when it thinks a wheel is slipping.
On affected Zdx vehicles, the EBCM software falsely detects wheel slippage. That false signal can make the ABS activate when the tires are not actually losing traction. When that happens, the system releases brake pressure in the service brakes, so the driver does not get the braking response expected from the pedal.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the brake-control software, not a worn pad, leaking hose, or part an owner can inspect in the driveway.

What's the safety risk?
A brake pressure release reduces or removes braking ability, which increases crash risk. Drive cautiously until the software update is complete, leave extra room to stop, and arrange the recall repair promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Acura dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Acura Zdx is included in this recall.
- Review Acura's mailed owner letter for the current software-update instructions.
- Ask a franchised Acura dealer whether the ABS software update is open for your VIN; the update fixes the unexpected ABS activation that releases brake pressure.
- Reference recall number 24V614 and Acura recall UJE when you call.
- Drive cautiously until Acura confirms the software update is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
Once Acura opens the final remedy, the electronic brake control module software will be updated by over the air update or at an Acura dealer. If the dealer path is needed, an Acura technician installs the updated software for the electronic brake control module. The final repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for this repair, Acura's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses that qualify. Keep your repair paperwork and contact Acura customer service or the dealer service desk for the claim process.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V614?
Recall 24V614 covers 4,174 2024 Acura Zdx All-Wheel Drive vehicles with an ABS software issue. The ABS can activate unexpectedly and release service brake pressure. Acura says the electronic brake control module software will be updated by over-the-air update or by a dealer for free.
What should I do if my 2024 Acura Zdx is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 24V614. If it is, contact a franchised Acura dealer and ask whether your Zdx needs the over-the-air software update or an in-person electronic brake control module update. Reference recall number 24V614 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Acura's recall remedy says the electronic brake control module software update is free whether it is completed over the air or by a dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is reduced braking ability. If the ABS activates when it should not, it can release brake pressure in the service brake system. That loss of braking ability increases crash risk. If your VIN is included, arrange the free Acura software update.
When were Acura Zdx owners notified?
Acura mailed owner notification letters on September 26, 2024. A mailed notice is not required for the free repair to apply. If you bought the vehicle used or never received the letter, check your VIN and contact a franchised Acura dealer with recall number 24V614.
