Highest complaint totals
- 2015 Acura RDX - 268 complaints in its first 8 years (413 to date)
- 2014 Acura RDX - 136 complaints in its first 8 years (243 to date)
- 2018 Acura RDX - 77 complaints in its first 8 years (77 to date)
Ranked on distinct complaints filed within eight years of the model year, so old and new years get the same exposure window. Not adjusted for sales volume; a best-selling year files more complaints at the same failure rate.
Lowest totals among mature years
- 2016 Acura RDX - 34 complaints in its first 8 years (41 to date)
- 2017 Acura RDX - 68 complaints in its first 8 years (78 to date)
- 2013 Acura RDX - 75 complaints in its first 8 years (162 to date)
Same eight-year window, among model years old enough to have completed it and with at least 25 complaints in it. Model years before 1990 are excluded because the federal file begins in 1995. A low total is not proof of reliability.

Recall campaigns, all years
Every campaign filed against this model, with the model years it covers. Safety-recall remedies are normally provided at no charge. Under US federal law the mandatory free remedy applies when the vehicle was no more than 15 years old at the time the defect was determined; manufacturers often cover older vehicles voluntarily. Canadian rules differ. Confirm eligibility with the manufacturer using the VIN.
