Official summary

Customer letter - Our records indicate that a PRODUCT UPDATE has not been completed on this vehicle; refer to the address card for the affected VIN. All 2017 MDX vehicles came equipped with a tire repair kit, but some clients opted to buy an accessory temporary spare tire kit from the dealer. Incorrect accessory temporary spare tire kits may have been installed, and the spare wheel and/or wrench in the kit may not fit your vehicle and must be replaced.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
