BALTIMORE, MD—Honda is recalling 295,000 vehicles in the U.S. to update the fuel injection electronic control unit software. The recall affects certain 2023-2025 Honda Pilot and 2022-2025 Acura MDX Type S and TLX Type S models.

According to the automaker, the issue is due to improper programming of the fuel injection electronic control unit (FI-ECU). This could lead to sudden changes in the throttle, which can illuminate the check engine light and cause the engine to lose drive power, hesitate, and/or stall. Honda says that it identified the issue by monitoring telematics information.

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by mail in March and asked to schedule an appointment with an authorized Honda or Acura dealer to update the FI-ECU software free of charge.
