2016 Acura RDX

The 2016 Acura RDX has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver-side airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to the driver or passengers.

The airbag concern stems from the Takata inflator used in the driver-side frontal airbag. When the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator can burst apart rather than inflate the bag cleanly, scattering sharp metal shards toward anyone seated in the front. This is a well-documented defect across many makes and models, and prior repair campaigns have not always fully resolved the issue for all affected vehicles. The third recall involves the fuel pump, which can fail without warning and cut engine power while the vehicle is moving, leaving the driver without acceleration and raising the risk of a crash.
