“Takata inflators dear NHTSA, I have the following question that I was hoping you could answer for me: every 2010 Acura vehicle is recalled with the exception of the MDX, how is it that the MDX is not on the list?

My wife's 2010 tl was only recently added to the list (~3 months ago), so I would not be surprised to see the MDX appear on the list next month. …”
