## What is wrong

American Honda Motor Co. \(Honda\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Acura MDX and MDX AWD vehicles manufactured April 23, 2013, to December 16, 2014.  The affected vehicles have air conditioning compressor clutch drive bolts that may not have received the proper anti\-corrosion coating.


## What can happen

If a bolt was not coated, it may corrode and break as a result.  If the bolt breaks, the compressor clutch plate may separate from the vehicle, possibly becoming a road hazard.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air conditioning compressor clutch drive bolt and install a new clutch plate if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on August 7, 2015.  Owners may contact Acura client relations at 1\-800\-382\-2238.  Honda's number for this recall is JQ7.


## 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.
