2009 ACURA MDX Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Acura MDX has 4 recalls, all involving the Takata airbag inflators, where both the driver and front passenger frontal airbags can explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death. All four recalls address the same underlying defect in the frontal airbag inflator modules. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for the same problem. If the airbags deploy in a crash, the inflator can rupture rather than inflate normally, turning the module itself into a source of metal shrapnel directed at anyone in the front of the vehicle.
