Buying a used 2024 Acura MDX? Check these 2 recalls first
The same two high-severity recalls carry over: the brake pedal that can shift out of position and the seat sensor that may trigger unintended airbag deployment, neither with a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA shows 39 unverified owner complaints with 1 crash, no fires and 4 injuries. Reports lean toward electrical system (11) and service brakes (10), with forward collision avoidance (6) also present, so electronics and braking behavior are the areas worth exercising during an inspection.
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 both recall repairs (brake pedal and seat sensor) show complete for the VIN
- Cycle infotainment, cameras and driver-assist systems looking for fault messages
- Ask whether any brake or collision-warning issue has brought the car to a dealer
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
