Buying a used 2024 Acura RDX? Check these 2 recalls first
Two high-severity recalls apply: steering that can rust and bind, shared with the Honda Odyssey, and the seat sensor that may cause unintended airbag deployment. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Only 11 unverified complaints are on file with NHTSA, yet they include 1 crash, 1 fire and 2 injuries. With a base that small, the mix says little on its own; the steering recall status is the concrete item to pin 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.
- Confirm the steering rust/binding recall repair is recorded against this VIN
- Turn the wheel lock to lock parked and at low speed, feeling for binding or notchiness
- Ask about any brake or hydraulic repairs and look underneath for leaks
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
