Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing recurring charging system failures due to oil leaks from the front engine gasket affecting the alternator. These oil leaks can result in the alternator losing its ability to generate sufficient power, leading to issues with recharging the battery. Symptoms of this problem include the illumination of the red battery light on the dashboard, indicating a malfunction in the charging system. Owners facing charging system problems are advised to check not only the battery and alternator but also for oil leaks that may be impacting the system. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent these oil leaks and avoid potential charging system failures in the Acura RDX.
