Service Bulletin

Acura technical service bulletin B17-010 for 2016-2017 Acura MDX.

Bulletin number
B17-010
Component
Power train
Summary
Service Bulletin - Some 9-speed transmission warmers were improperly manufactured and allow the engine coolant and ATF to mix. If the fluids mix, the engine and transmission may be permanently damaged and require replacement. These vehicles previously had the transmission replaced because the transmission warmers leaked. In rare cases, these vehicles may have also overheated but because the issue was under investigation, a standard repair procedure hadn't been developed. Further action is needed before the vehicle is completely repaired.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 178 complaints in the transmission category.
