Is there a single place where you can check your VIN# and see what updates you need? I just found out today that I was supposed to be receiving Acuralink messages (I've owned my RL 1 month and never knew I was supposed to get messages)...called Acura and they said the dealer didn't add my updates. Jeez I've only had it a month...wonder how many others are missing.....

 

ownerslink on acura.com generally should tell you what you need.

 

Unfortunately, ownerlink only provides recall information, which is none for the rl. No TSB is posted.

 

You are correct. Does the NHTSA list it on their website? I vaugly remember somebody saying that....

 

Yes...
This is a major issue for me with my 1999 Honda Accord. They do not make recalls/TSB's available to the public.
It took me over a year to track down a web thread that listed a popular fault code I had & its accompanied TSB!

Seems like every Honda/Acura enthusiasts site I was at that once had the TSB's published was told to remove them or else!

These days, you need to E-Mail individuals who have the TSB's to get them, as we do not publish what we have on the internet.

That sucks!

Believe it or not, that was a factor in my purchasing an Infiniti M35x.
TSB's are published & readily available to all! When I found them, I knew right their & then they had nothing to hide to its buying public! I was sold on the spot!
