Acura NSX — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 26 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Brakes4 (15.4%)
• Fuel system4 (15.4%)Official recall records for this system: 14, covering model years 2017–2020.
• Body & structure4 (15.4%)
• Air bags (restraint system)2 (7.7%)
• Electrical system2 (7.7%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2017.
• Engine2 (7.7%)

Other / uncategorized: 6 classifications (23.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (18 records, model years 2001–2021) are most frequently classified under: body & structure, fuel system and brakes.
• Manufacturer communications (773 records, model years 1995–2021) are most frequently classified under: body & structure, equipment & accessories and electrical system.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
