Power train, driveline, driveshaftJun 19, 2025
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013 Honda Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission. The affected vehicles were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The driveshaft may corrode and break, due to damage from road salt or other contaminants.
A broken driveshaft can result in a loss of drive power, or a vehicle rollaway when the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Dealers will inspect and replace the driveshaft assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 11, 2025. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is OM2. This recall expands previous recall number 20V769.

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.
A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing both the left and right drive shafts, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL, THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS RUNNING ABOUT 40 MPH AND AGAIN IT HAPPENED WAS RUNNING AT 50 MPH AND GOING INTO A CURVE AND THE THIRD TIME MY SPEED WAS 55 MPH ALL THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. IF YOU ARE WHERE YOU CAN PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT AGAIN THE STEERING IS FINE. SEEMS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. PLACES I NEED TO GO IS USUALLY ON THE INTERSTATE AND RUNNING 60 TO 70 MPH IS SCARY NOT KNOW WHEN THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I DID SEE ON THE INTERNET WHERE 2 ACCIDENTS HAS OCCURRED FROM THIS ISSUE AND THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO INJURIES. I HAVE CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND HAD A RECORD THAT I HAD CALLED IN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SO DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THIS IS LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GEAR. I ASKED ABOUT THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE THAT I HAD READ ABOUT AND ALSO REGARDING HOSES THAT WERE GETTING HOT CAUSING THIS. ALL THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW IS IT WILL COST MORE THAN $2000 FOR A NEW STEERING GEAR. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I KNOW PARTS GO BAD AND IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH OTHER VEHICLES MAYBE DUE TO THIS BEING DANGEROUS DRIVING AUTO MAKERS MAY GO BACK TO STEERING FLUID AND DO AWAY WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. PLEASE CHECK ON A RECALL ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES 08/10/2018 AND TWICE ON 08/12/2018. I AM AT THE POINT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NO MATTER THE SPEED AND ESPECIALLY ON CERTAIN ROADS. THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR DOWN IT THE STEERING WORKS. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY & HAD CLOSE CALL ACCIDENTS TRYING TO PULL OVER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 5 DAYS. THE VEHICLE HAS UNDER 50,000 MILES
Steering, Aug 18, 2018
THE STEERING WHEELS AUTOMATICALLY BECOME STIFFER AND HARD TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT WHILE DRIVING.IT TAKES A LOT OF MUSCLING TO KEEP IT UNDER CONTROL BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED.MY CAR HAS GOT 84000 MILES ON IT AND REGULARLY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED IT BECAME NORMAL AS USUAL WITH NO REPAIRS. I UNDERSTOOD LATER THAT THERE IS NO POWER STEERING FLUID AND THIS FUNCTION IS ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED! FROM ONLINE, GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATED SEVERAL OF THE HONDA CUSTOMERS OWNING THE SAME CAR MODEL EAR HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN HIGHWAY EXITS AND ENTRANCES WHERE CAR DRIVES IN OVER 50-60 MILES.IT CAN CREATE LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS IF NOT CORRECTED. DEALERS COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO FIX IT AND MIGHT COST A FUTURE. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO RECALL THIS CAR AND FIX IT IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ANOTHER EMERGENCY SITUATION, ACCIDENT OR THRETS TO SAFETY AND LIFE.
Electrical system, Aug 13, 2018
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE PUSH BUTTON TO START THE CAR,I AM UNABLE TO START IT. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND I GET A CLICKING SOUND. AFTER 6-10 TIMES TRYING TO START THE CAR IT FINALLY STARTS. CAR HAS 48,000 MILES. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES.
Engine, Aug 10, 2018
WHEN STARTING THE CAR WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME THE ENGINE DOES NOT START, THERE IS A NOISE LIKE STATIC. LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2013 ACCORD. 99.9% OF THE TIME THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE STARTER AT $800. HONDA SHOULD STEP UP AND RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE CAR DOES NOT START. THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
Electrical system, Aug 10, 2018
THE HONDA HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY STARTING FOR THE PAST MONTH. WHEN YOU INITIALLY TRY TO START THERE IS A CLICK AND IF YOU TRY AGAIN OFTEN 3-4 ATTEMPTS IT WILL START. SUMMER MONTHS THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING THE VEHICLE HAS A BATTERY SENSOR RECALL AND SINCE THE RECALL THIS HAS STARTED TO OCCUR.
Engine, Aug 8, 2018
SINCE LAST FALL, ENGINE DOES START ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES OF PUSHING THE BUTTON. LATELY WE NEED A LOT MORE TRIES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS ON FILE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS THE STARTER.
Electrical system, Aug 8, 2018
SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START. BRAKE IS DEPRESSED AND BUTTON IS PUSHED TO START, GREEN LIGHT GOES ON BUT CAR DOES NOT START. AIR CONDITIONER WILL RUN. I THEN PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON AND EVERYTHING GOES OFF AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN. CAR USUALLY STARTS AFTER ONE OR TWO TIMES.
Electrical system, Aug 6, 2018
MY CAR HAS JUST GONE BEYOND THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTEE & IS NOW HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING. WHEN THE START BUTTON IS PUSHED, ALL I GET IS SOME WARNING LIGHTS. IT WILL START AFTER 6 - 12 ATTEMPTS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER IF THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WHEN STARTING THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS LASTED WEEKS & IS STILL PRESENT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE REPAIR WILL COST ABOUT $600.

VEHICLE SHAKES BACK AND FORTH WHILE REDUCING OR INCREASING SPEED AROUND 10 MPH. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. HONDA APPEARS TO HAVE DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM UNDER SB 13-053.
Steering, Electronic stability control (ESC), Jul 25, 2018
THREE MALFUNCTION INDICATORS HAVE COME ON IN CAR AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THOSE INDICATORS ARE TPMS TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, VSA VEHICLE STABILITY ASSITS AND EPS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THIS ONLY BEGAN AFTER I HAD MY BRAKES IN REAR OF CAR DONE AND CAR WAS ACTUALLY STATIONARY WHEN THESE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH REALLY NO CHANGE IN DRIVING. I HAVE GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT MANY HONDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
Engine, Jul 24, 2018
AT 5 YEARS OLD MY HONDA ACCORD WILL NOW ONLY START ON THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. THIS STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO ALL POWER ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME SEVERAL TIMES/MINUTES TO START. I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY $176 & NOW THE KEY FOBS TOO AND THIS STILL OCCURRED. THIS HAS 411,000 RESULTS IF GOOGLED. THIS IS VERY COMMON ALTHOUGH HONDA CONTINUES TO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!
Engine, Jul 23, 2018
I HAVE BEEN MONITERING MY OIL LEVEL CONSUMPTION AND FOR ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT OIL CHANGES (6200-6400 MILE INTERVALS). MY DASH SHOWS 40% OIL LIFE REMAINING BUT WHEN I CHECK THE DIPSTICK THERE IS NO OIL ON IT AT ALL. IT'S BONE DRY. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OR LEAKS EITHER. THE CAR IS BURNING THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN ASKED HONDA THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OTHER CAR OR MY OF OTHER HONDA. AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER THAN USUAL.
Electrical system, Jul 19, 2018
2013 ACCORD. ORIGINAL BATTERY DIED SEPTEMBER 2016 - REPLACED BATTERY AGAIN JULY 2018. BEGINNING IN MAY 2018 TURN THE KEY AND LIGHTS COME ON BUT ENGINE DOESN'T CRANK. IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TRIES THEN CRANKS AND STARTS LIKE NORMAL. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA BRAND. THEY WERE KNOW FOR RELIABILITY - NO LONGER! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HONDA TO ANYONE I KNOW LOOKING FOR A CAR.
Steering, Jul 18, 2018
I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I NEEDED TO USE A LOT OF FORCE IN ORDER TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE CAR. WHEN STOPPED, I STILL COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, BUT IT COULD BE SPUN TO THE RIGHT CONTINUOUSLY LIKE IT WASN'T CONNECTED TO ANYTHING. I CALLED MY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THEY ARE REPLACING THE STEERING GEAR BOX BUT IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $3,000. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY IN THAT I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND DRIVING SLOWLY, AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR WHILE GOING AT A HIGHER SPEED.
Other or unspecified, Jul 17, 2018
CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PUSHING PUSH START MULTIPLE TIMES AT 5:00 P.M. CAR WAS STATIONARY .TRIED TO START AGAIN AT 6:00 P.M., WOULD NOT START. NEXT MORNING TRIED TO AGAIN TO START CAR, FAILED TO START. CALLED AAA THEY CAME TWICE THE FIRST TECH STATED BATTERY WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS THE STARTER HE DIDN'T HAVE TOW TRUCK SO A SECOND TECH CAME AGAIN STATED IT WAS THE STARTER. CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Jul 16, 2018
CAR DEVELOPED PROBLEMS STARTING. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC WOULD TURN ON BUT THE STARTER WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IT BEGAN SLOWLY AND GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE WITH TIME. PROBLEM GOT EVEN WORSE AFTER THE RECALLED BATTERY SENSOR WAS REPLACED.

LOSS OF STEERING AROUND A TURN. NEAR CRASH.
Electrical system, Engine, Jul 12, 2018
EARLY FAILURE OF STARTER. THE STARTER FAILED WITHIN 5 YEARS OF PURCHASE (NEW CAR) WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE 46K MILES. I COULD NOT START MY ENGINE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.
Steering, Jul 11, 2018
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING EPS WARNING LIGHT , COUPLED WITH STEERING WHEEL STIFF RESISTANCE, OCCURRED DURING SEVERAL RANDOM EVENTS OVER THE LAST FOUR DAYS - ONCE THE FIRST DAY 30 MPH ON RURAL ROAD, TWICE THE SECOND AT 50 AND 30 MPH ON HIGHWAY THEN RURAL ROAD, FOUR TIMES YESTERDAY WITHIN THOSE SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS, THEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AT 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, THEN RESTARTING, ONLY TEMPORARILY CLEARED THE ISSUE. I WAS FORTUNATELY DRIVING DURING THE EVENTS, AND NOT ALLOWING MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER TO EVEN CONSIDER HANDLING. TIGHT TURNS WERE NOT POSSIBLE - PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP, UPON COMPLETING DIAGNOSTICS TODAY, DETERMINED THE STEERING BOX/RACK AND PINION WERE THE SOURCE OF FAILURE. WITH <59,000 MILES, SPOTLESS RECORD OF MAINTENANCE AT THIS ORIGINAL DEALER, AND NEVER ABUSED, THIS TYPE OF EITHER MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE, AS WELL A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. I REVIEWED 158 COMMENTS/CASES ON CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES, SPECIFIC TO HONDA ACCORD 2013 MODELS WITH SIMILAR EPS/STEERING BOX ISSUES. DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHERE A PASSENGER IS PRESENTED A NON-RESPONSIVE STEERING EVENT, WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED BY HONDA MANAGEMENT, NOR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. STATISTICALLY, THIS APPEARS A DESIGN FLAW IS THE APPARENT ISSUE, AND REPLACEMENT-IN-KIND IN MY LOGIC DOESN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT MY EXPENSE. IN MY AREA OF EXPERTISE IN CRUDE REFINING, ANY FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE IN A MECHANICALLY SOUND PIECE OF WELL-MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT. IF A STEERABLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LOST POWER IN OUR FACILITY, COMPANY RESOURCES AND FOCUSED TEAMS, SAFETY AUDITS, AND POSSIBLY OSHA OVERSIGHT WOULD ENSUE. I'LL BE CONTACTING HONDA WITH THE NEWS THAT I CANNOT FURTHER SUPPORT THEIR PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH EPS. *TR
