Known issues on the 2014 Acura RLX. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. NHTSA 23V858000 covers the gasoline fuel system delivery fuel pump: fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA 13V622000 covers the rear suspension: loose rear lower control arm bolts may reduce steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 135 complaints for this model year, and 91 technical service bulletins have been issued. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a fuel-delivery diagnosis to a rear lower control arm bolt torque check, this manual keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your 2014 RLX.

In certain driving conditions, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) may incorrectly interpret certain roadside objects such as metal fences or metal guardrails as obstacles and unexpectedly apply the brakes.
Consequence
If the CMBS unexpectedly applies emergency braking force while driving, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy
