What's wrong: American Honda motor Co. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2015 Acura TLX v6 2wd vehicles manufactured July 14, 2014, to November 12, 2014, and certain 2015 TLX v6 sh-awd vehicles manufactured August 26, 2014, to November 10, 2014. The automatic transmission parking pawl may become contaminated or the park rod may become dislodged or broken. This may prevent the transmission from shifting into the park…

Why it matters: If the shift indicator displays "park" but the park lock does not engage, the vehicle may roll away increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmission if necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 30, 2015.
