ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Acura Integra Type-S?
The 2024 Acura Integra Type-S achieves an Exceptional 96/100 on the NHTSA Safety Index. This score is notable for its combination of perfect crash protection and avoidance technology subscores: 70/70 for crash protection and 10/10 for avoidance technology. The vehicle's defect record subscore, 15.8/20, prevents a near-perfect overall rating, reflecting the impact of three recall campaigns. These recalls are significant. Two separate campaigns address critical seat fasteners, affecting a broad range of Honda and Acura models. A third recall targets the steering system, covering many 2023-2025 Honda and Acura vehicles. Owner complaints further highlight the steering issue, with 52 of 62 total complaints lodged against this category, even as these remain unverified allegations. The Integra Type-S achieved a 5 out of 5 star rating for rollover protection, the strongest possible result from NHTSA, with a 10% risk figure. This specific model year demonstrates elite foundational safety scores, with its recall history as the primary factor preventing a higher Safety Index rating.
