Honda is recalling more than 290,000 vehicles in the U.S. to fix an issue that may cause engines to stall or suffer a loss of power.
The recall involves certain 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type-S, 2023-2025 Honda Pilot and 2021-2025 Acura TLX Type-S vehicles, according to a notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The automaker says a software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit may cause an engine stall or a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
"Denso, the supplier of the FI-ECU, informed Honda the settings for the
correction control logic of the air flow rate and fuel injection volume were improper," the recall notice says. "Due to the improper settings, certain driving conditions could cause a torque control failure to be detected and stall the engine."
"If the engine loses drive power, hesitates, and/or stalls, the risk of a crash or injury are increased," the notice adds.
The recall covers approximately 294,612 vehicles.
Honda said it is not aware of any injuries or crashes related to the issue, but it has received 674 warranty claims.
Honda will inform the owners of recalled vehicles by mid-March and dealers will reprogram the fuel injection electronic control unit software, free of charge.
