Buying a used 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls cover this hybrid: the widely applied Honda and Acura fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine, and water intrusion in the tailgate lights that can disable the taillights. Neither has a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Owner reports are sparse — eight unverified NHTSA complaints, no crashes, fires, or injuries — but the ones filed cluster around fuel and propulsion and the power train, which echoes the fuel pump recall rather than contradicting it.
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.
- Confirm the fuel pump recall repair by VIN and ask about any stalling history.
- Inspect the tailgate light housings for trapped water or fogging.
- Watch for hesitation, stalling, or no-start behavior during the test drive.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
