This bulletin applies to 2017-2019 Acura NSX sports cars. The optional carbon ceramic brakes for the NSX are unique. To help insure a trouble-free installation, here are some tips:

  • Make sure that you install the sensor with the black wires to the inner pad and the sensor with just the red wire to the outer pad.
  • Keep in mind that each wiring harness has a different length and must be installed on the proper pad.
  • Pay attention to the paint marks on the brake pads. They tell you which way the pads should face.
  • Front and rear brake pad pins are different. If they are installed incorrectly they won’t stay in place.
