2012 ACURA ZDX Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Acura ZDX has 8 recalls, all involving the frontal airbag inflators — both driver and passenger side — which can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

Every recall on this vehicle targets the same critical safety system. The driver-side and passenger-side frontal airbag inflators are each covered by multiple filings that describe the same underlying defect: the inflator can explode rather than deploy normally, scattering metal fragments toward the driver, front passenger, or rear occupants. One additional passenger-side recall covers a related but distinct concern where an incorrectly installed inflator may fail to deploy the airbag at all in a crash, leaving the occupant without protection. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple campaigns exist for what is essentially the same defect.
