Is my product affected?

2015 ACURA TLX

  • Brand ACURA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Honda is recalling certain 2015 Acura TLX V6 vehicles with automatic transmissions manufactured between July and November 2014. The issue involves the transmission's parking mechanism, where the parking pawl may become contaminated or the park rod may become dislodged or broken. This defect can prevent the transmission from properly engaging park, meaning the shift indicator may display "Park" even though the vehicle is not actually locked in park, creating a risk that the vehicle could roll away.

Honda will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmission if necessary at no cost to the owner. The recall began January 30, 2015. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000 and reference recall number JM8.
