Buying a used 2019 Acura TLX? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 92 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Acura TLX has 6 recalls in this group. Engine bearing seizure risk, timing belt failure, and multiple fuel pump failure or stalling campaigns make engine operation a central concern; unintended front passenger airbag deployment is also listed. Its 92 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports. Listed areas include engine with 31, fuel/propulsion system with 14, engine and engine cooling with 13, and fuel system with 13. These category counts should not be treated as distinct failure totals.

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. Verify engine bearing and timing belt recall completion.
3. Request VIN-specific status for every listed fuel pump campaign.
4. Confirm airbag recall repair and ask about stalling or engine repairs.
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.
