Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 MDX.
The 2024 Acura MDX is the current model-year entry in Acura’s long-running MDX lineup, pairing an EPA rating of 19/25/21 mpg with an Automatic (S10) transmission. Owner-reported data shows 35 complaints for this model year, with the largest share filed under “Unknown Or Other,” and Acura has issued 2 recalls.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2024 Acura MDX shows 35 complaints, 2 recalls, 1 investigation and 59 TSBs, which are all lower than the 2023 figures of 36 complaints, 2 recalls, 2 investigations and 126 TSBs, indicating a continued improvement in reliability. Compared with the peak years of the generation (e.g., 2016 with 359 complaints and 334 TSBs), the 2024 numbers represent a marked decline toward the low end of the complaint/recall arc seen since 2020. The trend from 2014‑2016 showed rising complaints and recalls, but after 2016 the metrics have generally trended downward, with 2023 and 2024 sitting near the trough before a slight uptick in 2025 (68 complaints, 3 recalls) followed by a sharp drop in 2026. Thus, the 2024 model year falls in the improving phase of the generation’s reliability curve, reflecting fewer owner-reported issues and fewer corrective actions. Consequently, the 2024 Acura MDX appears to be a strong choice for a used‑vehicle purchase based on the available federal record.
