## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Acura TLX 2WD and 4WD vehicles.  In the affected vehicles, the transmission wire harness connections may have insufficient crimps, and, as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift to neutral.


## What can happen

If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Acura has notified owners, and dealers will, based on the automatic transmission serial number, update the transmission software to prevent the transmission from shifting into neutral due to a faulty crimp, free of charge.  The recall began January 13, 2017.  Owners may contact Acura Client Relations at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's number for this recall is KC2.
