RECALL Acura MDX for key issue

RECALL Acura MDX for key issue

Acura has issued a recall for all 2003-06 MDX vehicles to correct a situation where the ignition key can be removed with the shift lever in a position other than park. The problem is caused by the driver continually trying to remove the key when the transmission is NOT in park. This action causes excessive wear on the lever. Once the lever wears, the key can be removed even if the lever isn’t in the park position, and if the parking brake isn’t set, the vehicle can roll away.

Acura will inspect the locking and lever system and install either a new interlock lever, interlock lever pin, interlock solenoid screw, interlock lever spring, or solenoid cover. Contact the dealer to make an appointment for inspection and repair
