What Happened
The seatbelts in your MDX or RLX are designed to keep you safe in a crash, but in some 2014-2015 models, they can get stuck in low temperatures and not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If your driver or front passenger seatbelt doesn't extend or retract when it's cold, you could be at risk of serious injury in a crash.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will replace the faulty seatbelts with new ones that work in all temperatures, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
