## What is wrong

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. \(Honda\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Acura MDX AWD vehicles manufactured May 6, 2013, through October 14, 2013. The bolts that attach the drive shaft to the automatic transmission transfer assembly may not have been properly tightened.  As a result, the bolts could loosen possibly allowing the shaft to detach.


## What can happen

If the drive shaft detaches while driving it could cause excessive noise and possibly damage the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the drive shaft attaching bolts as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on July 3, 2014.  Owners may contact Honda at 1\-800\-999\-1009 or visit their website at www.recalls.honda.com.  Honda's recall number is JC8.


## 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.
