Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing issues related to a fuel pump recall, specifically due to defective impellers in the fuel pump motor. This problem affects certain 2019-2020 RDX units, where the impellers may absorb too much fuel and deform over time. Owners have noted symptoms such as difficulty starting, engine hesitation while driving, and an illuminated check engine light with DTC P0087, which may qualify their vehicles for immediate repair under the recall. However, some owners face delays of up to 8 months in receiving the necessary parts to complete the repair. It is crucial for owners to address this issue promptly, as the fuel pump problems pose potential safety risks, including the risk of fire or explosion during fuel pump motor removal.
