Acura Recalls
Check open Acura recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Acura recall lookups work
When you enter an Acura VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Acura dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Acura recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at an Acura authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Acura recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 19V060000
Fuel system: low-pressure fuel pump (Denso)
2016-2018 Acura MDX and 2015-2019 Acura TLX with the 3.5L V6 (and related Honda Accord)
Particulates in fuel can stick to the internal parts of the low-pressure fuel pump and reduce its performance, which can let the engine stall and raise crash risk. Honda/Acura dealers update the fuel-injection ECU software and replace the fuel pump if needed, at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 23V751000
Engine: connecting-rod bearing
2015-2020 Acura TLX and 2016-2020 Acura MDX (and several Honda models)
A manufacturing error can cause a connecting-rod bearing to wear and seize, damaging the engine; a failed engine may run poorly or stall while driving, raising the risk of a fire or crash. Dealers inspect and repair, or replace the engine as necessary, free of charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Acura also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
