The 2010 Acura TL has 3 recalls, all covering the same critical defect: the driver's frontal airbag inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to the driver or other occupants.
These filings all describe the same underlying Takata airbag inflator issue. When the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator can burst apart rather than inflating the bag normally, scattering sharp metal shrapnel through the interior toward anyone seated in the front or rear of the vehicle.
