About Acura VIN Numbers
Acura is Honda's luxury and performance division, founded in 1986 in Japan. Every Acuravehicle manufactured since 1981 has a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that contains detailed information about the vehicle's specifications, manufacturing details, and history.
Acura VINs typically begin with the characters “19U”, which identify the manufacturer and country of origin. By decoding a Acura VIN through our free tool, you can instantly access complete vehicle specifications, factory-installed equipment, recall information, market valuations, and real photos.
Whether you're buying a used Acura MDX, selling your Acura RDX, or verifying the specs on a Acura TLX, our VIN decoder provides all the information you need to make an informed decision.
What to Check on a Used Acura
Acura-specific VIN details, known model issues, and recall history every buyer should verify.
Decoding a Acura VIN
US-built Acuras (MDX, TLX) begin with "19U" / "5J8", while Japan-built models use "JH4". The VIN decodes engine and whether the car has SH-AWD all-wheel drive.
Common Acura Issues to Verify
Some 2003–2007 MDX/TL V6 automatics shared Honda's transmission-failure history, and certain models had the same Takata airbag exposure as Honda. A history report can reveal transmission replacements.
Acura Recall History
Acura, as a Honda brand, was affected by the large Takata airbag recall. Confirm the airbag inflator recall is closed by VIN.
Buying a Used Acura
Acuras share Honda's strong drivetrains but are also frequent theft targets — verify the title isn't rebuilt and that the airbag recall is completed before buying.
