Additional Information
The Acura Legend was crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and received a 3 out of 5 stars for protecting the driver and 4 out of 5 stars for protecting the passenger in case of a frontal impact.
The second generation of the Acura Legend had a few recalls. Until now there were three major recalls, all referring to 1991 and 1992 models. First recall made was referring to the threaded inflator components that may have been damaged during assembly which may allow components to separate when inflator receives a signal to deploy the air bag causing hot combustion gases to escape into the passenger compartment which could result in injuries to vehicle occupants, only about 50 units were affected.
Seconds recall referred to the automatic transmission. Transmission shift cable bracket can be damaged by the engine rocking forward on engine mounts in a minor collision. When the shift cable bracket is damaged, the shift lever position may not correctly indicate the transmission gear position. This could result in unanticipated movement of the car and an accident. Potential units affected were 14,230 all built in 1991.
Third recall was made for 1991 Acura Legend. The recall referred to the Bose Audio system that had a separate amplifier behind the rear seats back; a transistor in the speaker amplifier could overheat resulting in smoke or possibility of fire. Number of possible units affected 47,158.
The Acura Legend is present on an episode of MTV's reality show Cribs, hip-hop artist Ludacris owns a 1993 Acura Legend sedan, which he calls his favorite car.
