In 2018, Acura issued a stop-sale order for certain model years of the XG1 due to a potential issue with connecting rod bearing failure. This issue affects the 2015-2020 model years of the XG1, which is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine.
The connecting rod bearings are critical components in the engine that allow the crankshaft to rotate smoothly. If these bearings fail, it can cause severe damage to the engine and lead to costly repairs.
According to Acura, the issue with the XG1's connecting rod bearings stems from a manufacturing defect that can cause the bearings to wear prematurely. This premature wear can lead to a loss of oil pressure, which can then cause the bearings to fail completely.
The stop-sale order affects the following model years and trim levels of the Acura XG1:
Model Year | Trim Level |
---|---|
2015 | All |
2016 | Base, Technology, Advance |
2017 | Base, Technology, Advance, A-Spec |
2018 | Base, Technology, Advance, A-Spec |
2019 | Base, Technology, Advance, A-Spec, PMC Edition |
2020 | Base, Technology, Advance, A-Spec, PMC Edition |
