RE:
Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 2015 TLX V69-speed A/T Parking Gear
On December 3, 2014 Acura notified NHTSA of a Stop Sale order and Safety Recall for approximately 9,500 TLX V6
vehicles. Any new or used vehicles in dealer stock must be repaired prior to sale. Refer to the eResponsibility report or
VIN Inquiry status to determine which vehicles in your inventory are affected.
Problem
During manufacturing of the 9speed automatic transmission, it is possible that contamination may cause the parking
pawl not to engage or the park rod may have been damaged during assembly and could dislodge, both of which can
prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position. Although the shift indicator will display “Park”, the Park Lock
may not engage allowing the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Repair
American Honda is developing an inspection and repair procedure and will distribute once it is finalized.
Parts
Parts information will be shared when the inspection and repair procedure is available.
Tech Line
As inspection and repair procedures are unavailable at this time, please do not contact Tech Line about this issue as they
will not have any additional information as well.
Warranty
Warranty information will be detailed in S/B 14-050, SafetyRecal
l
:Transmission DoesNot Engage Park.
Service Bulletin
In support of this recall, a placeholder version of S/B 14-050 has been posted on Service Information as of December 4,
2014. Once an inspection procedure has been developed, the bulletin will be revised and dealers will be notified via iN
message.
Client Notification
Acura expects to complete initial client notification by early January 2015.
As always, make sure to check the iN VIN status inquiry to determine if a vehicle is eligible for this recall.
Please note we will aim to provide an additional status update by this Friday, December 5th.
