Air bagsCampaign 10V002000 · 04 Jan 2010

Problem: Honda is recalling certain model year acura 2010 mdx vehicles manufactured between october 7, 2009 and november 14, 2009. A bolt used to attach an interior trim piece to either the driver's or passenger's side a-pillar may not have been installed during manufacturing.

Risk: In the event of a crash resulting in side curtain air bag 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.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the interior trim piece of the a-pillar and if a bolt is missing it will be installed free of charge. Four vehicles were purchased before the stop-sale was issued and all the vehicles have been inspected and repaired if necessary.

The oil issue. We bought a 2010 acura mdx from another person, unaware that no matter how much oil you put in it, it does not last very long. I travel 60 miles/day between work and pick-up kids and home. The oil lasts maybe 2 days says empty and we never need to add much for it to be full. We have a toyota sequoia…
