Properly tightened bolts seem to be an issue at Acura. First the MDX was recalled for improperly tightened bolts on the drive shaft, and now the RLX is being recalled for loose rear-suspension bolts.
According to Honda, there are eight bolts that attach several rear-suspension components which are at risk of working themselves loose over time, and eventually falling out. If that happens, the rear suspension of the vehicle can move out of proper alignment which will affect the steering of the vehicle and can ultimately lead to a crash.
