The 2013 Acura TSX Sport has 3 recalls, all centered on the front passenger airbag inflator, with the most serious risk being an inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
A separate filing covers the same inflator explosion risk through an additional campaign, though the underlying danger is identical: the passenger-side airbag inflator can rupture violently rather than deploy normally. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple campaigns exist for this defect. The third recall addresses a related but distinct concern: on some vehicles, the passenger frontal airbag inflator may have been installed incorrectly and can fail to deploy at all in a crash, leaving the front passenger without the protection the airbag is meant to provide.
