Acura electrical capacitor may have been damaged during the manufacturing of the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) control module causing intermittent, automatic, minor brake application.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the traction control system. Here is what owners need to know.
An electrical capacitor may have been damaged during the manufacturing of the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) control module causing intermittent, automatic, minor brake application. However, if the driver applies the brakes while the VSA is malfunctioning, the vehicle may come to an abrupt stop.
Sudden inadvertent braking, especially without illumination of the brake lights, may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will install a partial wiring harness containing a capacitor for the VSA modulator, free of charge.
