Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY filed January 16, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2056376 (ODI reference 11636287) concerns a 2016 ACURA RDX and was filed on January 16, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 23, 2024. The vehicle had 55,495 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Delaware based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:axle assembly, 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 RDX cohort independently describe similar power train:axle assembly 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 RDX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
