What's wrong?
The front stabilizer bar on the 2024 Acura Zdx is part of the front suspension. It helps control side-to-side body movement as the vehicle turns or travels over uneven pavement. A bracket holds the bar to the frame, and the front passenger-side bracket bolts keep that bracket clamped in place.
In NHTSA campaign 25V018, those bracket bolts were not tightened with the proper manufacturing tool logic. If the upper or lower bolt loosens and falls out, the stabilizer bar can move out of position. That movement can damage the high voltage cables or the EV battery coolant lines near the front passenger side.
The warning sign is noise from that area while driving. Owners can hear an abnormal clunk or rattle from the front passenger side before the bracket hardware has fully come loose.
Who's affected?
The listed components point to the front stabilizer shaft bracket bolt and the electric propulsion, high-voltage battery, and front suspension systems.
