The 2018 ACURA ILX has 4 complaints and 36 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners frequently report delays in receiving parts for recall repairs related to the fuel system. Multiple contacts indicate they have not yet experienced a failure but express frustration over extended wait times for parts availability.
Common Issues- Recall repair delays. Owners report receipt of recall notifications but inability to schedule repairs due to parts not being available from the manufacturer, causing extended repair wait times.
There are 36 recalls on the 2018 ACURA ILX affecting various vehicle systems including the fuel system, fuel tank, and driveline components. These recalls address defects that may impact vehicle safety and drivability. Below are key recalls with details on components, risks, and remedies provided by the manufacturer.
Recalls- Fuel pump failure. NHTSA campaign 23V858000 affects 2,490,460 vehicles including the 2018 Acura ILX. The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail, causing the engine to stall while driving which increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel pump module free of charge. Owner letters were mailed in September 2024.
- Deformed fuel tank. Recall 19V052000 affects 4,455 vehicles. A deformed fuel tank may raise the fuel pump height, causing the fuel level float to stick and the fuel gauge to display inaccurate fuel levels. This may cause the vehicle to run out of gas unexpectedly, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank if necessary at no cost.
- Driveshaft separation risk. Recall 19V424000 affects 49,898 vehicles. Excessive grease may prevent proper engagement of the set-ring on the half shaft, allowing the driveshaft to separate. A separated driveshaft can cause loss of drive or unintended movement while in Park, raising crash or injury risk. Dealers will inspect and replace affected parts free of charge.
Owners facing repeated repairs, unresolved recall issues, or safety defects with their 2018 ACURA ILX may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection law firm can help clarify options for addressing ongoing vehicle problems.
