Acura Recalls 10,000 2007 RDXs

Oh boy. Acura has discovered a flaw in the RDX's turbo mechanism which can cause the engine to produce 'unintended acceleration'. Apparently the valve that switches the turbo intake from the small to large chamber can get stuck open, creating a situation where the car accelerates uncontrollably. Acura apparently discovered the problem after a few months of production, so luckily newer production units already have the fix.

Unfortunately this server disables 'tiny url' urls. I was trying to set up a link to here:

Oh well. This must be a no fun board.

It would've been more believable if you said that the recall would fix gas whoring mode.

yea even if this was true, and they didnt sell 10,000 rdx doesnt mean 10k cant be recalled, just means ones on the lot would need to be recalled too.
