Acura Driver Seat Recalls for Loose Frames and Rivets
Driver seat attachment is the recurring concern in these Acura seat recalls, with certain 2024 Integra vehicles appearing in both the November 2024 and January 2026 notices. Those notices describe a driver's seat cushion frame that may not have been tightened properly, leaving the seat unsecured or loose. The November 2024 notice also names the 2024 Integra Type S. The April 2018 recall concerns certain 2018 MDX vehicles and a different defect: improperly manufactured rivets in the powered driver's seat can break during a crash, allowing the seat to lose its attachment to the floor. The notices connect these defects to reduced occupant restraint or support during a crash.
Warning signs to watch for
- November 14, 2024 seat cushion frame recall: the driver's seat may be unsecured.
- January 29, 2026 seat cushion frame recall: the driver's seat may be loose.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of these three notices carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The April 5, 2018 Honda and Acura Power Seats May Detach notice, which includes the Acura MDX, does not tell owners to stop driving. The November 14, 2024 Honda and Acura Models Loose Driver's Seat Frame notice also does not tell owners to stop driving. The January 29, 2026 Honda and Acura Driver Seats May Be Loose notice likewise does not tell owners to stop driving.

For the April 2018 recall involving Acura MDX vehicles, dealers replace the driver seat frame assembly. For the November 2024 and January 2026 recalls involving Acura Integra vehicles, dealers replace the driver's seat cushion frame. Each of these notices states that the specified replacement is free of charge.

Does the 2018 Acura MDX recall cover the passenger seat?
For Acura MDX vehicles, the April 2018 notice identifies the powered driver's seat and specifies replacement of its frame assembly. The same notice discusses both front powered seats in the listed Honda vehicles, but that scope does not extend to the MDX.
