How is it a design problem and why do you think Acura should be responsible for it? If alot of the RL leather seats are getting torn at the same spot, then yes, I can see why Acura should be responsible. However, if only a handful are getting this defect, I highly doublt Acura will cover it, especially due to wear and tear.
