Buying a used 2025 Acura MDX? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply here: the two high-severity items shared with recent years — brake pedal shifting out of position and a seat sensor that may deploy the airbag — plus a medium-severity one for a touchscreen that can go blank and hide the backup camera. None require stop-driving or parking outside. NHTSA logs 101 unverified complaints for a recent model year, with 2 crashes and 5 injuries, and engine (61) plus electrical system (46) dominate the reports by a wide margin.
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 all three recalls, including the touchscreen/backup camera fix, are closed on the VIN
- Start the car cold and check the backup camera appears when shifting into reverse
- Ask about engine running complaints and any engine or fuel-system repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
