Are there any Acura RDX recalls?

I was looking at buying an Acura RDX at a used dealership. It’s in excellent condition, but I want to be sure I’m buying a quality vehicle. How many recalls are there on that vehicle?

Doing your due diligence on a vehicle before you purchase it is a great idea—and it saves you from financial burdens down the road! The
Acura RDX
has had ten recalls since its introduction in 2007. Here’s a rundown of what to expect for the last several years:
  • 2021: A part in the right or left front driveshaft may have been improperly heat-treated, which could lead to a driveshaft failure (279 vehicles potentially affected).
  • 2019 and 2020: Certain 2019-2020 Acura RDXs may be subject to failure of the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank (624,552 Honda and Acura vehicles potentially affected).
  • 2017: Certain 2017 vehicles may be subject to Certification Label printing that can wipe away with an alcohol solvent; these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, Certification (1,425 vehicles potentially affected).
  • 2016: If involved in a crash, the driver’s side airbag inflator could rupture and send metal fragments flying (1,101,534 Honda and 2,232,187 Acura vehicles potentially affected)
  • 2015: If involved in a crash, the driver’s side airbag inflator on 2007-2016 RDXs could rupture and send metal fragments flying.
