The 2008 Acura RDX has 3 recalls, the most serious being a Takata driver's airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The airbag inflator issue has been filed across multiple campaigns but describes the same defect: a ruptured inflator housing that can scatter sharp metal pieces toward the driver and other occupants. The third recall is a compliance matter involving the certification label on the door jamb or pillar, which may be missing required tire and rim size information.
