What is the 2016 Acura MDX brake system problem?
I was browsing the internet the other day and came across a page about a brake system problem on 2016 Acura MDXs. What is this issue?
Andrea Barrett · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Honda recalled 64,785 cars in the U.S. from 2016 to 2019 model years for poor braking performance, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, the issue primarily affected 2017 to 2018 MDXs.
According to information released by Honda, hydrogen gas may become trapped in the brake lines due to insufficient coating of the rear brake calipers. Bubble formation in the brake fluid compromises the hydraulic circuit. During braking, pressure in the line compresses the gas and reduces the force of fluid rushing to the calipers, which can result in the pedal feeling soft and reduce braking power.
Contact your local Acura dealership for more information if you think your 2016 Acura MDX is affected by this brake system problem. Because the issue is a recall, it should be covered under Acura’s warranty.
Brake system issues are never a good thing, but keeping up with a regular
car maintenance schedule
is the best way to ensure optimal vehicle performance. But it’s also important to consider investing in a reliable car insurance
policy to protect your vehicle from events not covered under warranty. With help from
