Stabilizer Bar Bracket Bolts Loose (Recall)
The passenger-side front stabilizer bar bracket bolts may have been improperly tightened during assembly. If the bolts loosen and separate, the detached stabilizer bar or bracket can damage the high-voltage cables or EV battery coolant lines, potentially causing a vehicle shutdown and loss of drive power.
Honda issued a recall (NHTSA 25V-018) for certain 2024 Acura ZDX vehicles (approximately 118 affected). Dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts and repair any damaged stabilizer bar, bracket, high-voltage cables, or battery coolant lines as necessary, free of charge.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallInfotainment Screen Blanking and Random Reboots
The large infotainment touchscreen may go blank, flash on and off, or reboot randomly while driving. The system may lose connectivity to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and the navigation display can freeze. Voice command recognition is intermittently non-functional.
Acura has released over-the-air (OTA) software updates to address infotainment stability. Ensure the vehicle is connected to Wi-Fi for automatic updates, or visit the dealer for a manual software update. In severe cases, the infotainment control module may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update; $1,000 - $2,500 for module replacementAutomatic Rear Braking System False Activation
The automatic rear braking system activates aggressively when reversing, slamming on the brakes even when no obstacle is present or the detected object is far away. Owners report this happens roughly 30% of the time when backing up, particularly in light rain or near low walls and curbs.
Acura has released software calibration updates to reduce the sensitivity of the rear automatic braking system. Visit the dealer for the latest software version. The rear parking sensors can be temporarily disabled through the vehicle settings while waiting for a permanent fix.
Est. Cost: $0 for software updateCharging Failures and Error Codes
Some owners experience intermittent failure to charge, with the vehicle displaying error codes when connected to Level 2 or DC fast chargers. The charge port door may also open unexpectedly while driving. In rare cases, the vehicle displays a loss-of-power warning and cannot shift into drive or reverse.
Visit the dealer for a diagnostic scan of the charging system and high-voltage battery management module. Software updates may resolve charging communication errors. The charge port actuator or onboard charger module may need replacement. In severe loss-of-power cases, the high-voltage battery pack may require replacement under the EV battery warranty.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update; $500 - $2,000 for charger module; battery covered under 8-year warrantyInaccurate Range Estimation
The estimated driving range displayed on the dashboard can be significantly inaccurate, showing optimistic range projections that do not reflect actual driving conditions. Range can drop much faster than expected in cold weather, highway driving, or when using the HVAC system at full capacity.
Acura has released software updates to improve the range estimation algorithm, accounting for temperature, driving style, and HVAC load more accurately. Preconditioning the battery while plugged in before departure improves cold-weather range. Keep the vehicle updated with the latest OTA software.
