ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Acura TLX Type S?
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, leaving a gap in its federal safety profile. The absence of an overall crash-test rating means the Safety Desk cannot assess its structural performance or occupant protection beyond its recall and complaint record. This record places the vehicle in the Light burden band, with one recall and eight unverified owner complaints. The sole recall addresses the fuel injection system, a component shared across multiple Acura and Honda models, indicating a platform-wide issue. All eight owner complaints concern the Power Train, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. Without crash-test data, a comprehensive safety assessment remains incomplete.
