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.

I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ACCORD 2013 WITH 75,000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST FEW MOTH I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER. THE CAR WILL TURN ON, BUT AFTER A FEW TRIES. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STARTER. I DID NOT REPLACED IT BECAUSE I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND IT'S NOT FAIR FOR SOME THAT ONLY HAVE A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON THEIR CARS FOR THEM TO BE PAYING OVER $800 FOR CAR DEFECT THAT HONDA KNOWS THAT MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES SHOULD ALREADY HAVE A RECALL.

WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNS ON, BUT ONLY STAYS ON FOR A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE LOOSING POWER. THE BATTERY SEEMS TO BE WORKING PERFECTLY FINE AS THE LIGHTS AND INDICATORS ARE PROPERLY LIT. THE STARTER ALSO CRANKS PROPERLY. THE ENGINE HOWEVER TURNS ON BUT DOESN'T STAY O.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN TWO HONDA ACCORDS, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD (VIN [XXX]) AND A 2013 HONDA ACCORD VIN [XXX]). BOTH ACCORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AS NEEDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL HONDA RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THIS PAST FRIDAY, 2/23/18. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL TO FIX THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG(S). I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED BOTH CARS NEW AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A RECALL "AT SOME FUTURE POINT" FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR I SPOKE TO COULD NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT. IN DECEMBER, 2017 THERE WERE NO AIRBAG RECALLS FOR EITHER HONDA ACCORD ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I JUST CHECKED AGAIN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND NOTHING FOR AIRBAGS. THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPECIFICALLY STATES: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED." OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF. I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADVISORIES AND NO SAFETY ADVICE OR PRECAUTIONS FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION / AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING FRONT PASSENGERS OR STEPS TO TAKE TO AVOID INJURY IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE MEANTIME (OR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED). IF THESE TAKAKA AIRBAGS ARE A KNOWN DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND THESE AIRBAGS CAN KILL OR INJURE PASSENGERS, AND MY 2010 HONDA JUST RECEIVED IT'S RECALL NOW, IN FEBRUARY, 2018 - WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD? 2021?I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE MY 2013 BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, OTHER DEALERS WILL NOT TOUCH THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO FORCE HONDA TO ADVISE OWNERS TO GIVE A PROJECTED DATE FOR A RECALL AND WHAT TO DO UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS ORDERED / AVAILABLE. THANK-YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES IT IS NO LONGER A EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION. THE PROBLEM IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND/OR A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT AND DEALER IDENTIFIED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING BOX NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR A TOTAL OF $2100.00. FOR A "NEW" CAR THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND SHOULD BE HONDA'S FIX NOT THE COSTUMER.

2013 ACCORD FAILS TO START WHEN USING EITHER PUSH BUTTON START OR DEALER INSTALLED REMOTE START. ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER, ONLY A GRINDING SOUND IS PRODUCED. IT CAN TAKE AS MANY AS 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS TO START BEFORE THE STARTER WILL ACTUALLY ENGAGE AND START THE ENGINE. STARTER REPLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HONDA TSB 16-002, BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 40K MILES AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR LAST 18 -24 MONTHS AND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS OCCURS IN BOTH WARM AND COLD WEATHER, AND WITH EITHER A HOT OR COLD ENGINE. CAR NOW ONLY HAS 64K MILES.
