Boron Extrication An in-depth look into vehicle extrication and rescues involving today's automobiles
The 2014 Acura MDX body structure is made from different strengths of steel. The front bumper beam is tied into each side rail and each body side, which includes the stiffener ring of the door frame and A-pillar so that the energy of the small overlap impact is distributed through both rail and body side. The stiffener ring is a tailor-welded single piece, with thicker blanks where needed. Then the assembled part is placed in an oven heated to 940°C (1725°F), where it is formed and quenched in the hot-stamping process, to complete it.
The MDX has two front airbags, two front-side airbags and side airbags that provide coverage for all three rows, the MDX is also equipped with a driver’s knee airbag.
