The 2017 Acura NSX has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak risk where the crossover pipe connecting the left and right fuel tanks can separate or drip at its couplers, creating a fire hazard if fuel contacts an ignition source.
A separate fuel system recall covers the high-pressure fuel pump, which can fail and stall the engine without warning while driving. On the electrical side, road vibrations can work loose the metal screws securing the circuit board inside the high-mounted center brake light, causing those screws to contact the circuitry and blow the brake light fuse. When that happens, the brake lights stop working entirely, which removes a key warning signal for drivers behind the car. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this brake light issue, and an earlier filing also noted that a vehicle experiencing this short circuit cannot be restarted once switched off, leaving the car stranded in addition to the brake light failure.
