12.8% of complaints about the 2017 Acura RDX came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2017 vehicle — around the middle of the 203 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 5.9 yr in service. The most-reported system is power train (22 complaints), typically at 7.5 yr or about 49,869 miles.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017 CR-V and Acura RDX vehicles. The Certification Labels on the affected vehicles were printed with ink that may be inadvertently wiped away with an alcohol solvent. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If the label information can be wiped away, the operator may not be able to refer to the information, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 ACURA RDX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.
