2008 ACURA MDX Recalls Canada & USA

2008 ACURA MDX Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Acura MDX has 4 recalls, all concerning the Takata airbag inflators, where both the driver and front passenger frontal airbags can rupture during deployment and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death. All four recalls address the same underlying defect in the frontal airbag inflators. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for the same problem. Any of these inflators can explode rather than deploy normally, turning airbag hardware into shrapnel directed at the driver, front passenger, or rear occupants. Owners who have not yet had their inflators replaced should confirm their vehicle's status using the VIN lookup tool on this page.

Vehicles that, on or after September 12, 2014, received a remedy for a prior driver frontal air bag inflator recall already received an inflator of a different design, and therefore are not included in this recall and do not require additional servicing.
