2011 Acura Tl

The 2011 Acura TL has 3 recalls, all centered on the same critical defect: the driver's frontal airbag inflator can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, with the potential to cause serious injury or death.

Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for the same underlying problem. In any crash that triggers the driver's airbag, the inflator housing can burst rather than deploy normally, turning the airbag module itself into a source of shrapnel that can strike the driver, front passenger, or rear occupants. The risk is not limited to a partial deployment or a slow leak — it is a violent explosion of the inflator casing. Owners should confirm through their VIN whether an open remedy still applies to their specific vehicle, as repair coverage has been extended and refined across successive campaigns.
