Buying a used 2020 Acura ILX? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2020 Acura ILX has 2 recalls: fuel pump failure and brake fluid contamination that can weaken braking. Those documented defects deserve separate attention from the complaint pattern. NHTSA records 10 unverified owner complaints, with visibility/wiper issues appearing in 3 and steering in 2. Lane departure and forward collision avoidance each have 1 report. The complaint record includes 1 crash, 0 fires, and 0 injuries; it does not establish the cause of that crash.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify fuel pump recall completion for the VIN.
- Request documentation of the brake fluid recall remedy.
- Ask about wiper visibility, steering, and driver-assistance malfunctions.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
