Known issues on the 2013 TSX. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, both on the passenger frontal air bag inflator module. In the first, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. In the second, an incorrectly installed air bag inflator may not properly deploy the passenger frontal air bag. Owners have filed 38 complaints and Acura has issued 11 technical service bulletins for the year. This manual carries the factory procedures behind those systems.
From a routine service interval to an SRS fault, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 TSX.

I first reported this on July 7, 2023 under NHTSA ID#11530893. My wife was driving when the Continental tire size 225/50/R17 suddenly blew out at approximately 70 MPH. Immediately pulled to shoulder of highway. This was a very tense moment at speed running on the rim to get immediately off the road. Fortunately there was no vehicles in neighboring lanes as we swerved and got out of harms way. Continental Tire dealer was contacted and shown the 2 pieces of separated tire. We were informed there

On Friday, September 24, 2021 when I went around a curve my car felt like the vehicle stability assist was trying to kick on. However, no warning light came on and I was not going to fast for the weather or road conditions. I did not hit any pot holes or anything else to cause the part to fail. When I went to apply my brakes the brakes felt soft and spongy and I was concern with the car not stopping. Safety issues for me and others were if my car didn't stop and me hitting another vehicle an

I TURNED IT BACK ON AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, WITHIN 1 MIN, THE WHEEL LOCKED AGAIN. THANK GOD I HADNT GOTTEN ON THE FREEWAY. THERE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING. I SLOWLY BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AS I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY TURN OFF AND

THEN LIGHTS STARTING FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I WAS AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AS THIS IS DANGEROUS. I DID SAFELY MAKE IT TO WORK. AT THIS TIME I AM UNABLE TO FIND A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A CONSUMER'S FAULT. IT'S A SYSTEM FAILURE.
