Acura MDX SUVs recalled to fix rear lights
Acura is recalling nearly 153,000 MDX SUVs from the 2014-2020 model years because their taillights, interior lights, rear position lights, and license plate lights might not work. This is the second time some of these vehicles have been recalled.
The problem is due to a water leak that can trip a fuse. In addition to rear lighting, some interior lights may stop working, too. If the rear lights don’t work, the vehicle may not be visible at night, which could increase the risk of a crash.
To fix the problem, dealerships will install a new fuse harness free of charge. They may also replace some lights and repair a seal if necessary. Acura found that a previous recall didn’t address the problem, so vehicles that were recalled in 2019 will need another fix.
The automaker says there have been no crashes or injuries related to this issue.
Vehicles recalled: 2014-2020 Acura MDX SUVs.
The problem: If moisture enters the taillight lid assemblies, it could trip a fuse, making certain lights stop working. If this happens, the vehicle will be less visible at night, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Acura dealerships will install a fuse harness free of charge. They may also replace the tailgate lid lights and repair the body dust sealer.
