SERVICE INFORMATION
Need to flat-tow an '05 or '06 model year vehicle behind a motorhome? Here's some important info to keep in mind when you do.
Not all Acura models are approved for flat-towing. Models are approved only after going through extensive testing by our R & D folks. Here are the models currently approved. Additional models might be added.
'05 Models
- MDX
- RSX
- TSX
'06 Models (none can be flat-towed)
For info on flat-towing '05 and earlier model year vehicles, refer to the appropriate O/M. If you can't find any instructions in the O/M, then call Acura Client Services at 800-382-2238 . They'll provide a letter with towing instructions only for '05 and earlier model year vehicles.
Since no '06 model year vehicles can be flat-towed, towing instructions for unapproved vehicles aren't available from Acura Client Services.
