What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 788 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 66 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2019 Acura RDX, the 13 owners who gave an odometer reading for Electrical System reported it at a median of 6,250 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
