Acura recalls electric SUVs to update brake system

Acura is recalling 4,174 of its 2024 Acura ZDX All-Wheel Drive electric SUVs because the anti-lock brake system may activate unexpectedly and release brake pressure in the vehicle's service brake system.

The vehicles may exhibit overly sensitive anti-lock breaking system events in certain cases at below 25 mph on dry surfaces, the company said in a NHTSA report. In these conditions, if the ABS falsely activates and a specific sequence of wheel movements occur, the vehicle’s ABS system will continue to release braking pressure, which can reduce stopping performance or the service brakes can become inoperative, increasing the risk of a crash, Acura said.

The electronic brake control module software will be updated through an over-the-air update or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 23, 2024. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238. Acura's number for this recall is UJE.

Jaguar recalls EVs for battery concerns

Jaguar is recalling 2,760 of its 2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric vehicles because the high-voltage battery may overheat.

Owners who have previously had their vehicle updated with improved diagnostic software as part of a previous recall may not be protected from thermal overload and should have the new remedy performed, the automaker said in a NHTSA report. A vehicle thermal overload condition can lead to fire or smoke and result in increased risk for those in or outside the vehicle, as well as property damage, the company said.

Owners are advised to park and charge their vehicle outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete and for 30 days after the repair has been completed. As an interim repair, dealers will update the battery energy control module software, free of charge. The final remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 18, 2024.

Owners may contact Jaguar customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Jaguar's number for this recall is H514.

Audi recalls electric SUVs for improper brake assembly

Volkswagen is recalling 206 of its 2019 Audi E-Tron Quattro electric SUVs because the fastener connecting the brake pedal and the brake booster may have been improperly assembled during manufacturing, which can cause the brake pedal to detach from the brake booster.

If a complete separation would occur, vehicle braking would only be possible using the emergency braking function, a situation that increases the risk of a crash, the company said in a report filed with NHTSA.

A sign of a defect: Drivers may notice an unusual noise or the brake pedal doesn't return to its original position after applying and releasing the brake pedal, the automaker said in the report. Volkswagen suggests customers consult the owner's manual for information on how to use the emergency braking function.

Dealers will replace the brake booster, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on October 18, 2024. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 46P6.
