Honda is recalling approximately 94,000 vehicles in the United States because teeth on the engine timing belt may break and separate causing the engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or engine damage.

The company said on their website that the issue is due to "manufacturing process errors." At this time, Honda has not received any reports of crashes or injuries.

Vehicles being recalled include:

  • 2018-2019 Acura MDX
  • 2018-2019 Honda Pilot
  • 2019 Acura RLX, RLX Sport Hybrid
  • 2019 Acura TLX
  • 2019 Honda Odyssey
  • 2019 Honda Ridgeline
