2010 Acura ZDX recalled

Acura said on Tuesday that it is recalling 1,850 versions of its freshly launched 2010 ZDX crossover for a potential airbag problem.

The recall stems from a dashboard material that was cut wrong, which would cause the passenger-side airbag to deploy improperly. About two percent of the vehicles recalled are likely affected, spokesman Gary Robinson said.

The vehicles will be checked by dealers, and if there is a problem, the dashboards will be replaced. The issue was discovered during a manufacturing quality check.

The ZDX launched on Dec. 15, and Acura has sold 674 as of April 1, Robinson said.

Owners will be notified by mail later in April, or they can call (800) 382-2238. For more information from Acura, click here to go to autoweek.com/zdxrecall.
