• 193 MDX Sport Hybrid vehicles affected in the United States
• Fuel hoses will be inspected and, if found to be incorrectly routed, replaced, free of charge
• Issue was discovered during internal quality checks at the factory; No customer complaints or fuel hose failures have been reported

TORRANCE, Calif. – Acura will voluntarily recall 193 model-year 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid vehicles in the United States to inspect and, if incorrectly routed, replace the fuel feed and fuel purge hoses in the engine compartment, free of charge. Acura discovered this issue through internal quality checks at the factory. No customer complaints or fuel hose failures have been reported.

The fuel feed and fuel purge hoses may have been incorrectly routed during vehicle assembly. Engine vibration could cause the fuel hoses to rub against the breather pipe, and, over time, the fuel hoses could sustain damage from this friction. If either hose is damaged, a fuel leak could occur, which in the presence of an ignition source would increase the risk of a fire.

Acura is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer as soon as possible for inspection and, if needed, repair. Due to the relatively small number of affected vehicles, where possible, Acura will attempt to contact owners of affected vehicles by phone to schedule inspections. Owners of 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid vehicles can also determine if their vehicles require repair by visiting www.recalls.acura.com or by calling (888) 234-2138. Mailed notification to owners of any remaining unrepaired vehicles will occur in late- July 2017.
