The 1996 Acura SLX has two recalls, the more serious being a brake line routed too close to the front suspension's upper control arm, where repeated contact during normal driving can wear through the line and cause brake fluid to leak, reducing braking effectiveness and lengthening stopping distances.
The second recall involves the rear center seat belt, where a buckle intended for a different market was installed with the U.S.-spec belt webbing. The tongue of the belt cannot fully insert into that buckle, meaning the rear center seat belt cannot properly restrain an occupant in a crash.
