2013 ACURA RDX Recalls (2)

Campaign:
13V143000 on 04/15/2013
Component:
Power train:automatic transmission
Manufactured:
06/10/2012 - 11/18/2012
Affected:
204,169
Defect:
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 cr-v, odyssey, and model year 2013 acura rdx vehicles. during sub-freezing temperatures, the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal. as such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard 114, "theft protection and rollaway prevention."
Consequence:
If the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Honda will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to a honda or acura dealer. the dealer will install an updated brake shift interlock blocking mechanism free of charge. the recall began on may 13, 2013. owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009. honda's campaign recall numbers are s96, s97, and s98.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Component:
Air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module
Manufactured:
08/16/2011 - 03/27/2013
Affected:
2,232,187
Defect:
Honda (american honda motor co.) is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 honda cr-v, 2011-2015 cr-z, 2010-2014 fcx, and insight, 2009-2013 fit, 2013-2014 fit ev, 2007-2014 ridgeline, 2013-2016 acura ilx, 2013-2014 acura ilx hybrid, 2007-2016 rdx, 2005-2012 acura rl, 2009-2014 acura tl, and 2010-2013 acura zdx vehicles. the affected vehicles are equipped with a dual-stage driver frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture.
Consequence:
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Correction:
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inflator, free of charge. the recall began march 2017. owners may contact honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. honda's numbers for this recall are jy0, jy1, and jy2.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
