Honda Issues Major Recall for Nearly 300,000 Vehicles Over Engine Stall Risk

Honda Issues Major Recall for Nearly 300,000 Vehicles Over Engine Stall Risk

Honda is recalling 294,612 vehicles, including two Acura models, due to a serious software glitch that could cause engines to stall unexpectedly. The recall, one of the largest in 2025 so far, affects several V-6-powered models, including the 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type S, the 2021-2025 TLX Type S, and the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot.

While no crashes or injuries have been reported, the risk of a sudden loss of power while driving presents an obvious safety hazard. Fortunately, Honda says the fix is a simple software update—but affected owners must visit a dealership to get it resolved.

What’s Causing the Engine Stall?

The problem stems from a faulty software setting in the fuel system’s computer, supplied by Denso.

According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the correction control logic for air flow rate and fuel injection volume was improperly calibrated. This can cause unexpected changes in throttle response, which may reduce power or stall the engine altogether.

Notably, the recall does NOT mention any risk of unintended acceleration, only a loss of power.

How and When Did Honda Discover the Problem?

The issue was first flagged in December 2023, when Honda detected anomalies through telematics data.

  • April 2024 – Denso advised Honda that a software bug could be to blame.
  • January 9, 2025 – Honda confirmed that the engine could stall due to the issue.
  • January 16, 2025 – Honda officially issued the recall.

Since then, 674 warranty claims have been linked to the problem, though no accidents or injuries have been reported.

How to Fix the Issue & Next Steps for Owners

Honda will begin notifying affected owners on March 17, 2025, but dealers have already been informed and are prepared to apply the fix.

  • This is NOT an over-the-air (OTA) update – owners must visit an authorized Honda or Acura dealership.
  • The repair is free of charge and should be a quick software update.

Should You Be Worried?

If you drive a 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type S, 2021-2025 TLX Type S, or 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, Honda strongly advises scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible.

While no injuries or crashes have been linked to the issue, losing engine power while driving is a major safety risk—especially on highways or in high-traffic areas.

Honda has also recently issued recalls for other major concerns, including potential fuel leaks affecting the Pilot and Passport, as well as another recall covering 720,000 vehicles.

How to Check If Your Vehicle Is Affected

Owners can check if their Honda or Acura vehicle is part of the recall by:

✅ Visiting the official Honda or Acura recall website
✅ Entering their VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) into the NHTSA recall database
✅ Contacting their local dealership

With nearly 300,000 vehicles affected, Honda owners shouldn’t ignore this recall—a quick software fix could prevent a serious safety hazard.
