JN2 – Headlight LED Lens Film Delaminates – 2014-2015 Acura RLX

NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V792
Manufacturer Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Components EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Number of Units Affected 9,751

 

Delamination of Headlight Aluminum Film/FMVSS 108

Delamination of the aluminum film may diminish output of the headlight, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

 

Summary

American Honda Motor Co. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2014 Acura RLX vehicles manufactured November 22, 2012, to January 30, 2014, 2015 Acura RLX vehicles manufactured June 4, 2014, to November 18, 2014, and 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid vehicles manufactured November 5, 2013, to July 25, 2014.

An aluminum film applied to the inner reflector of the headlight may experience adhesion issues causing the film to delaminate.

Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, “Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.”

 

Remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both of the headlights, free of charge.

The recall began February 2, 2015.

Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000.

Honda’s number for this recall is JN2.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
