An Acura MDX tail light recall has been ordered for 360,000 model year 2014-2019 MDX SUVs worldwide, with 323,000 of those vehicles recalled in the U.S.
The Acura MDX has problems with tail light seals that can deform and allow water into the light assemblies. Intruding water may travel to electrical components and any contact with open circuits will cause tail light failures.
But it's also possible a short-circuit could trip the light fuse and deactivate the exterior lights and even certain interior lights.
Having the lights go out at night is dangerous, but Acura says no crash or injury reports have been received.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) hasn't released details of the MDX recall, but dealerships are expected to replace the gasket seals in both tail lights located on the tailgates.
Damaged tail light assemblies will also be replaced and it's possible technicians will replace the wiring harnesses associated with the tail lights.
If you own a 2014-2019 Acura MDX and have concerns, call the automaker at 888-234-2138.
