Honda and Acura have recalled a total of 124,077 vehicles due to an issue causing loss of brake control, Auto Blog reports.

The recall applies to several models, including 2020-2021 Honda Civics; 2020-2023 Ridgelines; 2021-2023 Passports; 2021-2022 Pilots; and the 2020 Acura MDX.

The issue is caused by a brake master cylinder that “may have been improperly fastened to the brake booster assembly during production,” Honda has stated. 

The problem is specifically with the tie rod fastener. If it was improperly installed, the tie rod nuts can become loose or fall off altogether. In this event, engaging the vehicle’s brakes would place a bending load on the brake booster tie rod studs, causing the studs to break and the brake master cylinder to separate from the brake booster.

The first incident the company was notified of was a 2021 Pilot experiencing brake failure last year, which initiated an investigation. No crashes or injuries are linked to the issue, though Honda has received two related warranty claims since September of 2022.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified beginning on August 7. Honda will inspect for missing or damaged tie rod nuts, as well as damaged brake booster assembly components, and will repair them as needed.
