NHTSA Recal #19V-256 So according to Acura, this vehicle had the tail lights replaced in 2019 but the tail lights broke again in 2023.

These lights are not a simple bulb replacement, it is costly in $600/Ea range to replace whole assembly.
The rear tail lights stopped working completely due to manufacturing defect of rear tail lights causing electric short circuit by moisture .
