What is the recall on the 2016 Acura engine?
There isn't a single universal recall for all 2016 Acura engines. Recalls are issued by model and VIN, so the exact recall affecting a specific car varies. To determine the exact recall for a given 2016 Acura engine, you must check the vehicle's VIN against official recall databases.
In practice, Acura and U.S. safety regulators have issued multiple recall campaigns that involve 2016-model-year Acura vehicles, covering various engine-related and safety components instead of a blanket recall on every engine. The precise open recalls depend on the vehicle's configuration, production date and ownership region, so owners should verify using official sources.
How to verify recalls affecting a 2016 Acura engine
Use official databases and dealer services to confirm current recall status for a specific vehicle using its VIN. The steps below help you verify and respond quickly.
- Visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall search and enter your VIN to see open and completed recalls.
- Log in to the Acura Owner Portal (or contact Acura Customer Service) to view recalls tied to your VIN and model.
- Call or visit an authorized Acura dealer with your VIN to confirm open recalls and arrange free repairs if needed.
- Monitor official recall notices for service campaigns related to the engine or emissions that may qualify for free repairs.
By following these steps, you can confirm whether your 2016 Acura engine is affected and schedule repairs at no cost if a recall is active.
Model-specific notes
Recall campaigns are tied to specific models, production dates and VIN ranges. For 2016-model Acura vehicles, owners of models such as ILX, TLX, MDX and RDX should check their VIN against NHTSA and Acura databases. If your memory of the issue is unclear, a dealer can quickly verify using the VIN.
What owners should do next
If a recall is identified, do not delay scheduling the free repair. Recalls address safety-critical components that can expose occupants to risk if left unfixed. Use the steps above to locate an active recall and contact your local dealer to arrange service.
Summary
There is no single recall for all 2016 Acura engines. Verification requires the VIN and official sources such as NHTSA and Acura's recall tools. Owners should check promptly and schedule repairs if an active recall is found.
