Buying a used 2022 Acura MDX? Check these 2 recalls first

Its 148 owner complaints filed with NHTSA are unverified reports. Power train leads the listed areas with 62, followed by unknown or other with 21, electrical system with 20, and steering with 19.

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 VIN-specific completion of both passenger-seat and airbag recalls.
- Ask for records of powertrain concerns and repairs.
- Check steering operation and electrical features for irregularities.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
