ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Acura Integra?
The 2023 Acura Integra achieves an overall Safety Index of 95 out of 100, placing it in the Exceptional band, a notable debut for this generation of the nameplate. This high rating is primarily driven by its flawless performance in crash protection, scoring 70 out of 70, and a perfect 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology. Every unit of the Integra includes standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. However, the vehicle's defect record component introduces a significant counterpoint, scoring 14.75 out of a possible 20. This score reflects two active recall campaigns and a total of 206 owner complaints. A particularly striking pattern emerges from the complaints: 188 of the 206 allegations specifically concern the steering system. This concentration directly aligns with one of the two federal recalls, which addresses a steering system fault. The second recall targets the brake control module, impacting the antilock and traction control unit. These two campaigns, addressing core vehicle control systems, prevent the Integra's overall Safety Index from reaching its absolute maximum.
