2021 Acura Nsx Safety Report

The 2021 Acura NSX presents a unique safety profile primarily due to its extremely low complaint volume and lack of NHTSA crash test ratings. With only 1 total complaint recorded by NHTSA, and no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths, there is insufficient data to identify any common safety defects or patterns. The single complaint is categorized as 'UNKNOWN OR OTHER,' providing no specific insight into potential issues. This low complaint count is typical for low-volume, high-performance vehicles, which are driven less frequently and by a smaller demographic. Given the absence of any recalls, the vehicle has not been identified by the manufacturer or NHTSA as having any widespread safety-related defects requiring corrective action. This suggests a robust initial quality or, again, a lack of sufficient data to trigger such actions. The lack of NHTSA crash test ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover all N/A) means there is no independent government assessment of its crashworthiness. Consumers must rely on the manufacturer's internal testing and the vehicle's inherent design for safety in a collision. In summary, the 2021 Acura NSX has an exceptionally clean record based on available NHTSA data, with virtually no reported issues or recalls. However, this should be interpreted with the understanding that the data set is extremely limited due to the vehicle's niche market position. While the absence of negative data is positive, the lack of comprehensive crash test ratings means its performance in real-world collision scenarios has not been publicly evaluated by NHTSA.

Our recommendation: Given the extremely low complaint volume and no recalls, the 2021 Acura NSX appears to be a reliable vehicle, but be aware of the lack of independent crash test data.
