What Are Recalls and Why Do They Happen?
Every automotive manufacturer rigorously tests its vehicles before they leave the factory and make their way to dealerships around the country. But occasionally, an issue with a vehicle or its equipment is discovered later on, after more extensive use and exposure to real-world driving conditions. Manufacturers, along with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), work around the clock to monitor and respond to such issues to help keep drivers like you safe.
The manufacturer and the NHTSA will issue a recall if a vehicle or its mechanical components, seats, or tires do not meet minimum safety standards or are found to pose an unreasonable safety risk. The manufacturer is responsible for providing necessary recall support for its customers with a repair, refund, or replacement of the recalled component(s).
How Do I Know if My Acura Has a Recall?
You’ll receive official notice of any Acura recall that affects your vehicle via first-class mail. You can also look up recall information online with the NHTSA or with your vehicle’s manufacturer:
You may be asked to enter your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to look up recalls for your vehicle online. You can locate your VIN on the lower driver-side corner of your windshield, on the sticker in the driver-side door jamb, or on your vehicle registration card.
