Honda is recalling certain 2013 and 2014 Acura ILX vehicles, including hybrid models, due to a defect in the headlights. The headlight bulbs and reflectors can generate excessive heat, which may reduce light output and cause smoke, melting, and fire, creating safety hazards including decreased visibility and increased crash risk.
Honda dealers will replace the affected headlights at no cost to owners. The recall began in July 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Acura customer service at 1-800-862-2872 to arrange the replacement, and should reference recall number JE9.
