The proposed remedy is easy enough: an over-the-air software update patched through at home that <strong>should take about five minutes<\/strong>. That means no trip to the dealer, unless you want help.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The software update to about <strong>5,000 units<\/strong> of Acura&#8217;s first <strong>electric vehicle<\/strong> addresses a miscommunication between the electronic control module and the brakes. On flat, dry surfaces, and with the electric crossover traveling at less than 25 mph, the anti-lock braking system might continuously activate, and subsequently release braking pressure. Braking power can be reduced or fail altogether.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"static-marker-video-player-primis\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The remedy was patched through to owners today. After driving and shifting the EV to park, a prompt should appear on the 11.3-inch touchscreen to install an update. It can be done later by going to Settings&gt;Updates&gt;History. The caveat? The vehicle must be enrolled in OnStar, the GM telematics system that recently came under legal scrutiny for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1144138_gm-sued-for-selling-info-of-16-million-drivers-to-insurance-companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GM allegedly selling drivers&#8217; data<\/a> to insurers without drivers&#8217; knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greencarreports.com\/news\/1143051_2024-acura-zdx-ev-test-drive-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 Acura ZDX<\/a>\u00a0borrows many things from GM, including <strong>GM&#8217;s Ultium EV propulsion system<\/strong> used on the Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Blazer EV, and Honda Prologue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the update, Acura says the ZDX won&#8217;t be operable and even the door locks and windows won&#8217;t work.
