We were told the other day that we should not be surprised when a new car recall is announced, with that in mind we now report that Honda and Acura has had to recall 183,000 2005 – 2006 models, with the list that includes the Acura MDX, RL and the Honda Pilot.

The reason behind the recall is due to an issue with the braking system and stability control. It appears that in some cases the VSA control units may have a damaged electric capacitor, which in some cases could apply the brakes at full force without the driver ever putting their foot on the brake pedal, or use unnecessary force when a driver does brake.

There are 101,000 Honda Pilot affected by this latest recall list, along with 60,000 Acura MDX and 21,000 Acura RL 2005 models. There are also a further 800 MDX 2006 CUV vehicles all with the same issues. However, we’re told that the Honda Pilot is under investigation for another issue, but this time to do with a bolt in the VGA system, which could have the same braking problems.

If you are concerned that your model may be included in this recall then you can check your Honda VIN or Acura VIN or phone (800) 999-1009 for Honda owners or (800) 382-2238 for those with an Acura.

While we did not feature the Acura NSX Concept in our favorite concepts cars at Detroit this year we have to ask ourselves why not, as this looks like a truly stunning car? However, we know that the design of the car will change a lot until it makes it into production, unlike our previous choices, which are very near their final production models.

The reason for this is because the production of the new Acura NSX car is still at least two years away, but we like what we see so far. The exterior of the car could change and that’s fine, but we wonder if you are happy with the Acura NSX Concept interior because it’s been reported that it could change significantly compared to what’s on show at Detriot.

Looking at the image above the design of the Acura NSX interior does look rather sexy and while it is more than likely to change by the time the vehicle enters the production stage, Acura do say that it will be a space where the driver will feel at one with the technology that surrounds him or her.

This means that the new vehicle will come packed with all the latest tech, but we have seen with previous statements made about concepts that this rarely happens, we just hope that this is not one of those moments. From the other images seen here you can see that the interior is maroon in color and that it wraps around the driver, let’s just hope that the design of the Acura NSX Concept doesn’t change too much.

The Montreal International Auto Show and the Detroit Auto Show clash each year and some car manufacturers have to choose between the two because of limited resources for upcoming vehicles. However, there were no such issues with the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype SUV and the 2014 Acura RLX sport sedan because both vehicles were at each event.

Both vehicles are aimed at the luxury segment and Acura has gone to great lengths in order to give these vehicles the best of everything – well taking budget and practically into account. While the full specs for the 2014 Acura MDX and RLX are still limited at this stage, there’s more than enough detailed in this preview to get potential customers interested, which you’ll see for yourself in the video below, which also includes the NSX.

The 2014 MDX will appeal to those who want an SUV with a strong, low and wide stance while still holding onto that all-important premium look. The front of any vehicle is always important but more so on an SUV because of the amount of space it takes up, so you’ll be pleased to know that the grille lines up beautifully with those LED headlights.

Like the MDX, the 2014 Acura RLX has also had a redesign (although it looks pretty similar to the current models) and again the front-end does have a completely new look. However, the sedan doesn’t seem to have that curb-appeal like the larger SUV does. However, once you take a look at all the technology packed inside, which is there not only for your comfort but safety as well, then you have to think more about what’s underneath rather than just what’s on the outside. It’s clear to see that these vehicles will not win any awards for how they look, not when you compare them to these concept cars that are on show at Detroit.

Its hard not to have some form of judgment, it reminds me a little of the former F1 driver David Coulthard with that strong chiseled jaw line. The grille is not the only change, Acura has also been making a few changes under the hood with a new six-speed transmission, USA Today say that this helps improve fuel economy.

The Honda owned company said that the change at the front were important to the aerodynamics, as it is this that helps improve fuel-efficiency. Other changes that some might not like are the new fog lights, turn signals, and that grille. However, things have also changed at the rear, taillights have been updated, which certainly changes the look.

Auto Evolution reports that there are two models available; one comes with a 3.5-liter V6 and the other a 3.7-liter, which produces 280hp and 305hp respectively. There will be a choice of 17-inch, 18-inch and 19-inch wheels, you will need to make the choice depending on lifestyle and budget.
