Known issues on the 2012 SRX. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the power-adjustable front seats: the bolt securing the height adjuster can fall out, letting the seat drop suddenly to its lowest position and distracting the driver at the wheel. The second and third both cover the rear suspension toe adjuster link: the jam nut may not be torqued to the correct specification, allowing the link to loosen, wander, or in later cases separate outright, each resulting in a loss of vehicle control. Owners have filed 416 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a rear toe-link inspection to a driver's seat adjuster check or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 SRX.
