2016 Acura ILX Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$49.99 USD
Unit price
The 2016 Acura ILX was built in a single configuration: one powertrain, the 2.4L naturally aspirated DOHC four, and one trim, the Base Sedan 4-Door. This factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year and configuration, so the specifications and sequences are the ones that apply to your car.
Engines
- 2.4L I4 — 2356cc (144 cu in), DOHC, naturally aspirated, gas
Trims
- Base Sedan 4-Door
Known issues on the 2016 ILX. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. A fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Contaminated brake fluid can deform a seal inside the brake master cylinder, and the reduced brake function can extend the distance required to stop. Excessive grease can keep the set-ring on the half shaft from fully engaging, allowing the driveshaft to separate, which can cause a loss of drive or allow the vehicle to move on its own. And the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module can rupture when the air bag deploys in a crash. Owners have filed 78 complaints against this model year, and 87 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.
From a routine fluid service to a brake hydraulic overhaul or an intermittent fuel-delivery fault, this manual keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 ILX.
Acura (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Acura ILX vehicles. The vehicles may have a deformed fuel tank, raising the height of the fuel pump and allowing the fuel level float to stick, possibly causing the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate fuel level.
Consequence
If the fuel gauge displays that the vehicle has more gas than it actually does, the vehicle may run out of gas and stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Acura will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the fuel tank, free of charge. The recall began March 14, 2019. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Acura's number for this recall is H3U, Z3T.
