The Problem: The rear brake caliper pistons may have an insufficient coating, causing gas pockets to form, reducing brake performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will bleed the brakes for free.
What Owners Should Do: Acura manufacturer Honda will begin notifying owners Dec. 17. Owners can call Honda at 888-234-2138, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
