Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CENTER SUPPORT BEARING filed December 27, 2019

NHTSA complaint #1632181 (ODI reference 11291544) concerns a 2016 ACURA ILX and was filed on December 27, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 19, 2019. The vehicle had 86,599 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:driveline:center support bearing, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same ACURA ILX cohort independently describe similar power train:driveline:center support bearing failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 ACURA ILX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
