2015 Acura RDX

The 2015 Acura RDX has 4 recalls, the most serious being a driver's frontal airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to the driver or passengers.

The airbag inflator concern covers multiple filings that all describe the same defect: a rupturing inflator inside the driver's frontal airbag module. When the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator can burst violently, scattering sharp metal fragments toward the driver, front seat passenger, and anyone else in the vehicle. This is among the most hazardous defects on record for passenger vehicles of this era, and prior repair attempts across the broader recall campaign did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why multiple filings exist for the same underlying problem.

The remaining recall involves the fuel pump, which can fail without warning while the vehicle is being driven. When the pump stops delivering fuel, the engine stalls, leaving the driver without power in traffic or at highway speeds, which raises the risk of a collision.
