Buying a used 2019 Acura RDX? Check these 5 recalls first
This year carries five high-severity recalls, three of them separate fuel pump actions that can cause the engine to stall, plus front seat belts that may not latch and a seat sensor that may deploy the airbag. None are flagged stop-driving or park-outside. NHTSA holds 436 unverified complaints — high for this group — with 3 crashes, no fires and 5 injuries. Beyond the large unknown/other bucket (141), visibility/wiper (96) and engine (89) are the recurring themes.
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.
- Get written confirmation that every fuel pump recall was completed for this VIN
- Latch and tug both front seat belts repeatedly and ask about the seat belt recall
- Test wipers, washers, defroster and all-around visibility; ask about any stalling history
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
