Manufacturer recall repairs are free of charge to the vehicle owner when performed at an authorized dealer like Coggin Acura Fort Pierce. All corrective actions listed by NHTSA for the 2014 Acura RLX — such as software updates, headlight replacement, seat belt replacement, or suspension bolt replacement — are covered by the manufacturer at no cost. If you need additional non-recall repairs, ask about our current service specials and service financing to pay over time.
Can I get my 2014 Acura RLX recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The safety of drivers and passengers is the top priority at Coggin Acura Fort Pierce. The 2014 Acura RLX has multiple NHTSA recalls that can affect fundamental safety systems — including the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) that may falsely apply emergency braking when roadside metal objects are misidentified, delaminating headlight reflectors that reduce nighttime visibility, driver and front passenger seat belts that may not retract in low temperatures, and rear lower control arm bolts that may have loosened during transport. Each of these defects can increase the risk of a crash or injury if not addressed. Ignoring a recall can also impact insurance claims and liability considerations after an incident. Our factory-trained technicians use the exact OEM parts and manufacturer software updates required by Acura to correct these issues. We perform recall repairs free of charge under the manufacturer program, and we document the repair with the factory service records that insurers and future buyers recognize.
