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

5 NHTSA recalls · 62 owner complaints on file

Recalls repeat the earlier pattern: a critical engine bearing failure that can seize the engine, two fuel pump recalls tied to stalling, and two seat sensor recalls — one for a sensor that can crack — both involving airbag risk. Owners filed 62 unverified NHTSA complaints (4 crashes, no fires, 1 injury), concentrated in engine at 19 plus fuel system and gasoline categories. Complaint volume is lower than 2018 and 2019, though the same engine recall applies.

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. Run the VIN for the engine bearing recall and ask for the completed repair order.
3. Confirm both fuel pump recalls were done and ask about any hard-start or stalling history.
4. Ask if the passenger seat sensor was inspected or replaced under either seat sensor recall.
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.
