Buying a used 2023 Acura RDX? Check these 2 recalls first
Two high-severity recalls apply: a brake unit that can leak fluid, shared with the Acura Integra, and the seat sensor that may cause unintended airbag deployment. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. The complaint record is thin — 21 unverified NHTSA reports with no crashes, fires or injuries — split evenly across electrical system, unknown/other and engine at 4 each. A total that small limits how much can be read into the pattern.
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.
- Verify the brake unit fluid leak recall was completed on this VIN
- Inspect around the brake unit for seepage and check the reservoir level
- Watch for brake warning lights at cold start and throughout the test drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
