What's wrong?
The passenger-side front stabilizer bar bracket on the 2024 Acura Zdx holds the front stabilizer bar to the vehicle frame. The stabilizer bar ties the left and right sides of the front suspension together, helping the SUV stay flatter and more controlled when it turns or moves over uneven pavement. The bracket bolts keep that bar clamped in place.
On affected Zdx vehicles, the bracket bolts were retightened with manufacturing tool logic that judged both bolts by the first bolt's torque result. If the first bolt passed, the tool treated the second bolt as properly tightened even when it was not. A loose bolt can back out, letting the bracket or stabilizer bar separate from the frame and damage nearby high voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines.
Owners can hear abnormal noise from underneath the vehicle while driving. A clunk or rattle is the warning sign Honda identified before the bracket loosens further.

What's the safety risk?
Damaged cables or coolant lines can shut the vehicle down, causing a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash. If you hear a clunk or rattle from underneath while driving, slow down, choose a safe place to stop, and call an Acura dealer before continuing. 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.
- Watch for Acura's owner letter if you have not received it; letters were mailed May 30, 2025.
- Contact a franchised Acura dealer to ask whether recall number 25V234 is open for your VIN before scheduling service.
- Ask about the stabilizer-bar bracket bolt inspection and tightening, which addresses bolts that loosen and damage high voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines.
- Drive with caution until the repair is complete; stop in a safe place if the vehicle loses drive power.
What happens at the repair
Because the remedy is still under development, do not assume the final repair can be scheduled yet. Once Acura opens the repair, an Acura technician will inspect the passenger-side front stabilizer bar bracket bolts, tighten them, and repair the stabilizer bar, bracket, high voltage cables, and EV battery coolant lines as needed. Parts and labor will be free under the recall. Owners who already paid for these repairs can contact Honda customer service with receipts or other repair documentation under Honda's recall reimbursement plan.
