Acura ZDX reliability by year
Each year is complaints filed in that year’s first 3 years on the road, divided by however many of those years have passed. A model year younger than 3 years is too early to compare, so it is left out of the years named as having the fewest or the most complaints. Recalls are a separate count. The numbers are for the US-market Acura ZDX. How we count.

Known issues for this generation
Recall 19V-182 covers certain 2010-2013 Acura ZDX vehicles among many Honda and Acura models: the driver frontal air bag inflator may rupture, and an explosion of the inflator may send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death. Dealers replace the driver's air bag inflator with an alternate inflator. Related passenger-inflator campaigns such as 18V-042 and 19V-502 also name ZDX years in this span. When those campaigns list many Honda and Acura nameplates, published unit counts are shared across them.
