Buying a used 2020 Acura RDX? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 345 owner complaints on file

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

  1. 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.
  2. Confirm both fuel pump recalls and the seat belt recall are closed on the VIN
  3. Ask directly about stalling episodes and have stored fault codes scanned
  4. Check wipers, washers and camera/mirror visibility functions before buying
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
