JQ4 – Safety Recall: MDX CMBS Error – 2014-2015 Acura MDX

oemdtc September 15, 2017 No Comments

NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V301
Manufacturer Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Components FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Potential Number of Units Affected 19,502

 

Activation of Collision Mitigation Braking System

If the CMBS unexpectedly applies emergency braking force while driving, there is an increased risk of a crash.

 

Summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Acura MDX 2WD and AWD, RLX and 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid vehicles.

In certain driving conditions, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) may incorrectly interpret certain roadside objects such as metal fences or metal guardrails as obstacles and unexpectedly apply the brakes.

 

Remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the CMBS software, free of charge.

The recall began on July 6, 2015.

Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238.

Honda’s numbers for this recall is JQ4, JQ5 and JQ6.

 

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.

REVISION SUMMARY

Under WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, the description was updated.

 

BACKGROUND

Under certain specific driving conditions, the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) could lock on an incorrect target. If this occurs, the CMBS may apply the brakes in an attempt to stop the vehicle. If the vehicle suddenly slows or comes to a stop, it could increase the risk of a crash.

If you have a client who is concerned about the CMBS activating before the software update can be done, you can direct them to turn it off by pressing the CMBS OFF button for about a second. The CMBS indicator in the instrument panel will come on and stay on until the CMBS OFF button is pressed again to turn the system on.

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Update the ACC/CMBS software.

i-HDS Diagnostic Software and J2534 Reprogramming Software

Latest ECU Software

 

Vehicle Communication Interfaces (VCI)

The i-HDS software supports the use of a generic pass-thru VCI that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2. However, Honda recommends the Denso DST-i or the Bosch MVCI for use on Honda and Acura vehicles, as Honda has worked closely with these manufacturers to ensure their hardware and our software interact safely and within the J2534-1 and -2 specifications, for both diagnostics and reprogramming. If you choose to use a generic VCI, please carefully consider the customer and technical support options you will receive from your chosen device supplier. Honda does not provide technical or customer support for generic VCI devices.    

The VCI Application Table below lists devices that either are approved and supported by Honda or are known to have completed and passed an independent, exhaustive validation program with our i-HDS software suite.
