Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2025685

11 December 2025

Transport Canada lists: Ilx 2016–2020

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a seal in the brake master cylinder could become damaged. As a result, brake fluid could leak into the reservoir and there could be reduced braking.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Acura will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the brake master cylinder.

Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2019272 · manufacturer campaign AL72

6 June 2019

Transport Canada lists: Ilx 2016–2018

What is wrong

On certain cars, the right axle half-shaft could detach. This could cause a loss of power to the drive wheels. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, this could allow the car to roll away.

Why it matters

A loss of power to the drive wheels or sudden, unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to inspect the right driveshaft. If the driveshaft is not fully engaged to the half-shaft, the driveshaft and half-shaft will be replaced.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2016046

1 February 2016

Transport Canada lists: Ilx 2013–2016 · RDX 2007–2015 · RL 2005–2012 · TL 2009–2014 · and 6 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect/replace the driver's frontal airbag inflator. Note: Honda Canada has created a special Airbag Inflator Hotline for immediate assistance. For more information, please contact: For Honda Owners: 1-877-445-7754 For Acura Owners: 1-877-445-9844
