SEAT BELTS

What Happened
The seatbelt in your MDX or RLX is designed to extend and retract smoothly. Unfortunately, in some 2014-2015 models, it might not work properly when it's very cold.
Risk if Unfixed
If your seatbelt gets stuck or won't move when you need it to, you could be at higher risk of injury in a crash — which is a serious concern.
Free Fix
Your Acura dealer will swap out the faulty seatbelts for new ones that work as they should, at no cost to you. Get it fixed as soon as you receive the recall notice.
