Honda, Acura Recall 124,000 Vehicles Over Brakes
After issuing a recall for nearly 1.2 million of its vehicles over an issue with the rearview camera in late June, Honda is issuing another recall for some 124,000 examples. This time, the recall involves a problem with the brake booster assembly.

Affected Honda vehicles include model-year 2020-21 Civic sedans, model-year 2021-23 Passport SUVs, model-year 2021-22 Pilot SUVs and model-year 2020-23 Ridgeline pickup trucks; affected vehicles from Acura, Honda’s luxury arm, include model-year 2020 MDX SUVs. The issue is with the tie rod fastener that connects the brake booster and brake master cylinder. Due to an error in assembly, the fastener may be loose or missing tie rod nuts, potentially causing the brake master cylinder to separate from the booster assembly. This could result in a loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and repair the brake booster assembly, as necessary, for free. Honda will begin notifying owners Aug. 7, but those with further questions in the meantime can call the automaker at 888-234-2138 (Honda’s numbers for this recall are AEV, VEU and ZET), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
