Summary
Dealer message - On December 3, 2014 Acura notified NHTSA of a Stop Sale order and Safety Recall for approximately 9,500 TLX V6 vehicles. During manufacturing of the 9speed automatic transmission, it is possible that contamination may cause the parking pawl not to engage or the park rod may have been damaged during assembly and could dislodge, both of which can prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position. Although the shift indicator will display ?Park?, the Park Lock may not engage allowing the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
