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.

SOMETIMES WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CAR WON'T START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 16 AUG 2017. THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE STARTER. I SAID NO. THIS IS A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. SOMETIMES I NEED TO TURN THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS OR CRANKS OR DOES ANYTHING. DEALER ALSO SAID IT WOULDN'T START WITH THEM.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION: I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH 74,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE AT TIME OF PURCHASE. THE ACCORD ENGINE HAS STARTED USING OIL. AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE THERE WAS ONLY 1 QUART OF OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. CONSUMPTION TESTING DID NOT SHOW 1 QUART/1,000 MILES SO NOTHING WAS DONE BY HONDA. BETWEEN 2,000 AND 3,000 MILES OF THE CONSUMPTION TEST OIL WAS CONSUMED AT A RATE OF 1 QUART OR MORE PER 1,000 MILES. HONDA STILL DID NOTHING. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT NO WHERE. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL HONDA'S SINCE 1987 BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THIS WILLINGNESS TO DO NOTHING. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME I STOPPED FOR GAS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT (ITS A LITTLE ORANGE STEERING WHEEL WITH AN ! NEXT TO IT) COMES ON AND THE WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. THE CAR ALSO FEEL UNSTABLE AS IF I WERE DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE IN HIGH WIND. THIS HAS HAPPEND TWICE SO FAR IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. BOTH TIMES WERE AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO A 45 MIN COMMUTE. LUCKILY FOR ME IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT AFTER A MINUTE TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES, PUSH START BUTTON, CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISES AND CLICKING, BRAKE THEN LOCKS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO PUSH BUTTON, CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START..THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, HAS OCCURED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN PAST 4 MONTHS. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. HAVE HAD CAR TO HONDA DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC, THEY CANNOT FIND PROBLEM BUT STATE THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HONDA CONSUMERS. THIS ISSUE HAS NO CERTAIN TIME OF HAPPENING, HAS OCCURED ON A COLD AND WARM START. I NEVER KNOW WHEN CAR WILL START OR NOT. TAKING CAR BACK TO HONDA SERVICE NEXT WEEK TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE AGAIN.

VEHICLE IS 2013 AND I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTED AND BATTERY 4 TIMES DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE, IT TURN ON AND IMMEDIATLY DIES OFF, MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED 6 TIMES OR MORE SINCE I BOUGHT, I HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ALL THE TIME AND COMPUTER NEVER IDENTIFIES THIS PROBLEM. I AM SO TIRED OF THIS TRASH CAR, I STILLOWE ON IT OR ELSE I WOULD JUST PARK IT ON THE FRONT LOT OF A DEALER AND PUT A BIG SIGN SAYING DO NOT BUY HONDA ACCORDS, MANY PROBLEMS ALWAYS. LASTLY, I ASKED THE DRIVER FOR THE TOW TRUCK WHICH KIND OF CARS HE TOWS THE MOST DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE AND HE SAID, LAUGHING "HONDAS"...FIRST TIME IT FAIL TO START WAS AT 54K MILES.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AC FOR 15 MINUTES; A LITTLE SMOKE STARTS TO COME OUT OF THE CENTER CONSOLES TWO VENTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE FOR OVER 15 MINUTES. THE SMOKE LAST FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS THEN STOPS. ONCE IT IS DONE, A SLIGHT ODOR OF BURNED ELECTRICAL CAN BE NOTICED.

THE I4 ENGINE WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. THE BATTERY IS NEW AND FULLY CHARGED. MANY TIMES, I GET IT STARTED BY STRAIGHTENING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH 51K MILES SO OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER WANTS A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TEST OTHER COMPONENTS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO CONSUMERS FOR THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT BUT ALSO A CONSUMER HAZARD IN TERMS OF SAFETY NOT TO MENTION T REPUTATIONAL RISK TO HONDA.

THIS IS AN UPDATE ON WHAT I EXPERIENCE WITH MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD 7/4/2017. ON THIS DAY WHICH WAS INDEPENDENCE DAY MY EPS LOCKED UP WHILE LEAVING SOUTH CAROLINA HEADED BACK TO NORTH CAROLINE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP TO EXAM THE CAR TO SEE WHY THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP. AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I NOTICE SEVERAL ISSUE WITH THE EPS SYSTEM IN THIS YEAR MODEL. I READ THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS GIVEN ON THE TORQUE SENSOR 5 YEAR. AS HONDA DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE THEY DID THE UPDATE AND REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR, BUT THE PART THAT WOULD ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO WORK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT WAS THE CONTROL UNIT. I LOCATED ANOTHER ARTICLE AN IT ALSO HAD THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL, BUT EXTENDED THIS WARRANTY TO ONLY THE FIT AND CIVIC NOT THE ACCORDS. I WILL BE WRITING A LETTER TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD ONLY EXTEND IT TO THOSE TWO CARS WHEN ACCORD ARE THE NUMBER #1 SELLER. THIS WAS MY SECOND HONDA CAR AND OVER ALL MY FAMILY HAVE PURCHASED 4 HONDA CARS. THE COST FOR THE CONTROL UNIT WAS ALMOST $600.00 WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY AND HONDA SERVICE BROUGHT THE BALANCE TO $500.00 EVEN AS IF THEY WAS DOING ME A FAVOR. THE SERVICE MEMBER AND SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND RIGHT NOW AS A OWNER I'M NOT A SATISFIED CLIENT. IF EPS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHY WAS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM EXTENDED UNDER WARRANTY. YOU KNOW WHY IT WASN'T EXTENDED BECAUSE THEY WANT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE DAY. I KNOW WE ALL LOOK FOR NEW IMPROVE WAYS TO MAKE TECHNOLOGY BETTER, BUT MAKING AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WAS NOT A BRIGHT IDEA IN MY OPTION. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOING 70 MILES AN HOUR AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. TODAY I THINK MY OPTION ON PURCHASING A VEHICLE WITH HONDA WILL BE LAST ON THE LIST.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE IN THE PAST FOUR MONTHS DUE TO FAILURE TO START, ONLY CLICKING SOUND. BEFORE COMPLETELY UNABLE TO START, I WOULD HAVE TO TRY 3 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO START. FIRST TIME I CHANGED THE BATTERY AN VEHICLE WAS OK FOR A WHILE BUT THEN STARTED FAILING TO START INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD ONLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I DO NOT MIND REPLACING THE STARTER BUT IT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3-4 YEAR OLD AND BELIEVE REPLACING THE STARTER MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LONG RUN AS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME STARTERS THAT ARE FAILING. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

MY CARE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. OIL LIGHT WARNING DOES NOT COME ON.

THE ENGINE STARTED EXCESSIVELY CONSUMING OIL ONCE IT PASSED 60,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT APPEARS TO BE BURNING OIL AT A RATE OF 1/2 QUART PER 1,000 MILES.

7/4/2017 WAS OUT OF TOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND MY EPS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN LEAVING A FUNCTION. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AS NORMALLY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING TO RESET THE CAR THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH THE WHEEL AND STEERING HAVE ISSUES. WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA AND HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH IS THE COMPANY I PURCHASED FROM AND THEY HAVE TO DETERMINE WHY LIGHT CAME ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD WHICH I SHOW REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT A KNOWN ISSUE.

THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THE STARTERS ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD - BUT HONDA STILL HAS NOT MADE A RECALL?? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE AND THEY ARE NOT HELPING ANYONE? I AM AFRAID I WILL GET STUCK SOMEWHERE AND MY CAR WILL NOT START - BUT IT IS ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET IT REPAIRED!!!! I HAVE TO CRANK IT MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. THE ONE SHOP MADE ME GET A NEW BATTERY - BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FEEL LIKE I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE UNSAFE!

THE FCW 03 SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. ON JUNE 27, 2017 THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE FCW 03 CODE FLASHING ON AND OFF. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HONDA MADE RELIABLE AND SAFE CARS, BUT THIS IS PROVING TO BE UNTRUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR COMPANY ADDRESSING THE ISSUES AT HAND WITH MY CAR. THANKS

CAR WOULD NOT START CONSISTENTLY. PUSH BUTTON START NEEDED TO BE ENGAGED UP TO 10 TIMES FOR CAR TO EVENTUALLY START. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO BECOME WORSE OVER TIME. ULTIMATELY THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 3.5 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES. PROBLEM CAN LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED AT REMOTE LOCATIONS CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

BATTERY TERMINAL CORROSION - THE FACTORY BATTERY HAD SEVERE CORROSION PROBLEMS AFTER 2 YRS (UNLIKE ANY OF MY OTHER 3 CARS). ON THE THIRD YEAR IT DIED AND WAS REPLACED WITH A AAA BATTERY. AFTER 6 MONTHS THIS BATTERY IS ALSO SHOWING CORROSION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AFTER DOING GOOGLE SEARCHES. WHAT'S WORSE IS THE POSITIVE BATTER CABLE IS NOT AN EASY NOR ECONOMICAL REPLACEMENT ONCE THE CORROSION FINDS ITS WAY INSIDE. I BELIEVE THE CORROSION IS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE 'SMART CHARGING SYSTEM' HONDA IS USING ON THIS VEHICLE. NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM IN MY 30+ YRS OF OWNING DOZENS OF CARS.

FOR THE LAST MONTH I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE KEY INTO THE IGNITION 4-7 TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. TODAY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS AUTO PARTS IN EL PASO, TX AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CHANGE THE STARTER BECAUSE IT IS WEARING OUT AND IS A RARITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO A HONDA ACCORD THAT IS ONLY 3 + YEARS OLD. I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND ALL ENGINE PARTS ARE OPERATING NORMALLY. UNBELIEVEABLE THAT MY HONDA ACCORD IS BREAKING DOWN ON ME. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL.

AUTO HAS 37K MILES AND BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE NEW. RECENTLY, PUSH BUTTON START HAS FAILED, REQUIRING MULTIPLE TRIES IN KINDER TO START CAR. DEALER INDICATED THAT STARTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED FOR ROUGHLY $720. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

CAR KEEPS LOSING ITS POWER STEERING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED, NOR HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT, IT'S EVEN GONE OUT SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. VERY SCARY WHEN IT GOES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A CURVE IN THE ROAD.

ACCORD V6 COUPE BOUGHT NEW (AND SPOTLESS) AND NEVER IN ACCIDENT, 33,000 MILES AND 47 MONTHS OLD- CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK WAS COMPLETELY FLACCID. THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS ESSENTIALLY IN THE FULL RECLINED POSITION RESTING AGAINST THE BACKSEAT. IT COULD BE MOVED UP AND DOWN EASILY TO THE TOUCH WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LOCKING MECHANISM (IE IF IT WASN'T BEING MANUALLY HELD UP IT WOULD FALL BACK). I TOOK IT INTO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT "THE SEAT FRAME HAD FAILED." I CALLED HONDA TO TELL THEM AND, GIVEN THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, WILL CALL ME BACK IF THEY WILL COVER IT. AGAIN, DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME FAILED AND SEATBACK COMPLETELY FLACCID AND CAN OFFER NO BACK SUPPORT.
