Recalled: 2010 Acura MDX
Published Jan 18, 2010
WASHINGTON — The 2010 Acura MDX is the subject of a recall because a missing bolt means a trim piece may not be properly secured to the A-pillar, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The NHTSA says 644 MDX vehicles are involved in the recall, and apparently all have been inspected and repaired at this point. Therefore, MDX owners will not be notified about this particular recall, according to the federal government.
"A bolt used to attach an interior trim piece to either the driver- or passenger-side A-pillar may not have been installed during manufacturing," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "In the event of a crash resulting in side curtain airbag deployment, the trim piece may not remain properly secured to the A-pillar, increasing the risk of injury to the driver and/or front-seat passenger."
Owners of the aforementioned MDX can contact the NHTSA hotline at (888) 327-4236.
