Buying a used 2022 Acura RDX? Check these 2 recalls first
The recall picture narrows to two high-severity seat sensor items: one for a sensor that may crack and compromise the airbag, one for unintended airbag deployment. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. NHTSA shows just 31 unverified complaints, but 4 of them involve crashes and 2 involve injuries, so the crash share is notable against the small total. Reported areas are led by unknown/other (11) and visibility/wiper (9), with service brakes (4) further down.
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.
- Check the VIN to confirm both seat sensor recalls have been completed
- Sit in the passenger seat and watch the airbag on/off indicator respond
- Test wipers, washers and windshield/camera clarity during the inspection
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
