Acura has issued a stop sale order for certain 2015-2020 model year vehicles equipped with the 3.5-liter XG1 V6 engine due to a potential issue with the connecting rod bearings. The affected vehicles include the following:
According to Acura, the connecting rod bearings in the affected vehicles may not have been properly heat-treated, which could lead to premature wear and failure. This could result in catastrophic engine damage, including the potential for the engine to seize up while driving.
Acura has issued a stop sale order for all affected vehicles and has begun notifying owners. Dealers have been instructed to stop selling any of these vehicles until the issue has been resolved. Acura is currently working on a solution to the problem and expects to have a fix available in the coming weeks.
If you own one of the affected vehicles, you should contact your local Acura dealer as soon as possible. Dealers will be able to inspect your vehicle and, if necessary, replace the connecting rod bearings. Acura is providing free repairs for all affected vehicles.
