Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2024 Acura RDX represents the lowest complaint year in the entire federal record for this generation, with only 10 complaints recorded—down dramatically from the spike years of 2019 (431) and 2020 (338). This follows a consistent downward arc from the 2019-2020 peak: 431 → 338 → 102 → 30 → 19 → 10. The 2024 model maintains just 2 recalls (matching 2022-2023) with zero NHTSA investigations, and TSBs have dropped to 18 (compared to 139 in 2022), indicating the vehicle has moved past the issues that plagued the generation's mid-life. The single fire complaint and zero crash complaints are encouraging signals. The 2025 data shows a slight uptick to 29 complaints and fewer recalls (1), but this may reflect early-year reporting rather than a true trend reversal. **Takeaway:** The 2024 RDX appears to be the sweet spot of this generation—complaints have fallen to their lowest level, recalls are routine rather than exceptional, and the vehicle has clearly moved beyond the significant quality issues seen in 2019-2020. This makes it a strong candidate for a used purchase within this generation.
