Acura RL problems reported in California

65 of the 525 complaints filed about the Acura RL came from California, most often about the airbags.

Bigger states file more complaints simply for having more drivers. What is worth reading here is the mix — a part that fails in heat, cold or road salt shows up in some states long before others.
