Are there any recalls for a 2017 Acura ILX?
Yes. There have been recalls that can apply to 2017 ILX vehicles, most notably the Takata airbag inflator recalls that affected many Honda and Acura models from that era. Because recall eligibility depends on the specific vehicle VIN, the exact recalls for your car must be verified through official databases or a dealership.
Understanding the recall landscape for the 2017 ILX
Recalls are issued by VIN, not by model year alone. The 2017 ILX shares components with other Honda/Acura platforms, so some campaigns may involve multiple models and VIN ranges. The list below highlights broad recall themes that have appeared in notices affecting ILX and related vehicles. It does not guarantee that every 2017 ILX is affected.
- Takata airbag inflator recalls: These were among the most widespread safety campaigns and cover numerous Honda/Acura models from various production years. If your ILX is included, airbags must be replaced at no cost.
- Other recalls affecting a subset of VINs: Over time, additional campaigns have been issued that impact certain ILX VINs or related Honda/Acura components. Eligibility depends on your specific VIN and production date.
Because recall status varies by VIN, the exact recalls that apply to your car should be verified using official sources. The next section explains how to check.
How to check recalls for your specific ILX
To determine recall status for your exact car, use these official channels. The process is free and identifies which recalls, if any, apply to your VIN.
- Use the NHTSA recall lookup by VIN at SaferCar.gov: enter your 17-character VIN and review active recalls linked to your vehicle.
- Check Acura/Honda’s official recall page: enter your VIN or contact a local dealer for a VIN-based recall report.
- Contact your local Acura dealer or Honda service center: provide your VIN and they can tell you which recalls are active and schedule service.
Recall work is typically performed at no charge to the vehicle owner, and repair times vary by recall type and parts availability. If a recall is active, the dealer will arrange the repair with no cost to you.
What to expect during a recall repair
Recalls are usually addressed during a scheduled service visit. Depending on the issue, the fix may involve replacing airbags, seat belts, sensors, or other components, and some repairs may require parts that are in limited supply. In certain cases, a temporary driving limitation may apply until a repair is completed, though many recalls can be resolved in a single appointment.
Summary
Bottom line: recalls can affect the 2017 Acura ILX, but the exact list depends on your VIN. The safest approach is to check your VIN against official recall databases (NHTSA and Acura/Honda) and contact a dealer to schedule any needed repairs. Staying informed and acting promptly helps maintain vehicle safety.
