Can I get my 2016 Acura RDX recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Manufacturer recall repairs must be performed by an authorized dealer to ensure OEM parts and a warranty on the remedy; Coggin Acura Fort Pierce is the certified Acura dealer in Fort Pierce, FL.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The 2016 Acura RDX is affected by multiple safety recalls that present real hazards if left unaddressed. Specifically, NHTSA records show nine air bag recalls for driver frontal air bag inflators or dual-stage inflators that can rupture due to propellant degradation or moisture intrusion, which can send sharp metal fragments into the cabin and cause serious injury or death. There is also a transmission brake-shift interlock recall that can allow the gear selector to move out of Park in freezing conditions, creating a rollaway risk, and multiple fuel pump campaigns where a failing low-pressure pump could cause the engine to stall while driving. Ignoring these recalls can increase accident risk, undermine insurance coverage in some claims, and reduce your vehicle's safe operability. At Coggin Acura Fort Pierce we prioritize safety: our factory-trained technicians diagnose and perform all manufacturer recall remedies using OEM replacement parts at no charge. Scheduling a recall service quickly protects you, your passengers, and preserves the vehicle’s integrity and insurability.
