Honda will be notifying the owners of certain 2015-2016 Acura MDX, 2015-2016 Honda Odyssey, and 2016 Honda Pilot vehicles about a problem affecting the fuel system. A manufacturing problem may have resulted in insufficient welds on the fuel tank. Over time, the welds could break, allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.
Those receiving notices will be asked to return to their dealerships to have the fuel tanks replaced. Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Honda/Acura customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda’s numbers for this recall are KA9 and KB0 for Acura vehicles. The NHTSA campaign number is 16V-417.
