Dealers have been instructed to stop taking orders for the Type S, though existing inventory may still be available for purchase. The decision reflects broader industry challenges as automakers adjust to stricter environmental standards, raising questions about which vehicles will face similar disruptions. Customers considering the MDX Type S may need to weigh their options carefully as production remains in limbo.
Regulatory uncertainty around EPA Tier 4 standards puts the Acura MDX Type S on pause while other MDX trims remain in production.
