Buying a used 2020 Acura RDX? Check these 5 recalls first
Five high-severity recalls apply: two fuel pump actions that can stall the engine, front seat belts that may not latch, and two seat sensor items — cracking and unintended airbag deployment. None carry a stop-driving or park-outside warning. NHTSA records 345 unverified complaints with 4 crashes, 1 fire and 4 injuries. After unknown/other (102), the pattern mirrors 2019: visibility/wiper (83) and engine (53) lead, with electrical system (26) behind them.
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 both fuel pump recalls and the seat belt recall are closed on the VIN
- Ask directly about stalling episodes and have stored fault codes scanned
- Check wipers, washers and camera/mirror visibility functions before buying
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
