Honda recalled over 70,000 vehicles in the United States due to a problem that can reduce brake function. The issue may increase the risk of a crash or injury, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall covers certain 2016-2020 Honda Acura ILX models. About 0.3% of the 70,658 vehicles, or roughly 212 cars, may have the defect.
Why Did This Happen?
Honda said contaminated brake fluid can cause a seal inside the brake master cylinder to swell and deform. This may lead to an internal brake fluid leak, which can impair braking and increase the distance needed to stop.
