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.

MY VEHICLE, A 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX-L V6, HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE A POWER STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON IN MY WARNING LIGHTS, AND THEN I WOULD LOSE THE ASSISTANCE OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. MY COMMUTE IS A SHORT ONE IN THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO. HOWEVER, IF I WERE ACTUALLY IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO, OR ON A HIGHWAY, THE EPS FAILURE COULD BE FATAL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ACROSS IRVING PARK ROAD, AND I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS LOW AND TOOK HALF A BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID TO FILL. THE PROBLEM RECENTLY RESURFACED TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM CLASS. EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, THE POWER STEERING NEVER CAME BACK.
Steering, Sep 27, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE POWER STEERING LATER RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ATLANTA INTERSTATE AT 55 MPH THE CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME-ON ON THE DASH BOARD. THEREFORE, I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OVER INTO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT-OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT THEN THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER IT PROPERLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE SO FAR.

***HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF*** THIS CAR HAS A "FEATURE" THAT IS NOT DISCLOSED TO CUSTOMERS UPON PURCHASE WHICH CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR PROPERTY AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE KEY FOB IS PLACED IN A POCKET WITH KEYS (AS EVERYONE DOES), THERE IS A COMBINATION OF INADVERTENT BUTTON PRESSES (SPECIFICALLY UNLOCK / UNLOCK / UNLOCK) WHICH CAUSES ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF TO OPEN. THIS HAS LEAD TO MY CAR BEING SOAKED BY HAVING ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN DURING A RAINSTORM WHILE I WAS INSIDE MY OFFICE (WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED RIGHT OUTSIDE - THE KEY FOB WORKS FROM QUITE A FAR DISTANCE). IT HAS ALSO LEAD TO MY BELONGINGS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO ALL OF THE WINDOWS OPENING WHEN I PARKED IN THE CITY AND WAS SITTING IN A BUILDING WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET, AMONG OTHER TIMES. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE SELLING DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS FEATURE AND I SHOULD READ THE MANUAL. IT IS NOT DETAILED IN THE MANUAL AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE IT.

2013 STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER TWICE BECAUSE THE COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT ON THE 2ND TIME RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRE THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND REPLACED THE STARTER. FAST FORWARD IN LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND LESS THAN 1 YEAR, I'M HAVING THE STARTING PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVING THESE ISSUES, I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE CAR IN TO DIAGNOSE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES YET, BUT IF THE IS BAD AGAIN. I WISH THEY COULD FIGURE OUT IF THE STARTERS ARE BAD OR WHAT'S CAUSING THE STARTER TO FAIL PREMATURELY
Wheels, Sep 8, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE WHEELS LOCKED UP. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A CURB AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE WHEELS LOCKED UP DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR CODE THAT WAS NEEDED TO UNLOCK THE WHEELS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,207.

TWO WEEKS AGO, MY STEERING WHEEL PULLED LEFT QUICKLY AND THEN BACK. I THOUGHT I HIT A ROCK. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS SAME ISSUE. YESTERDAY, PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THE STEERING WHEEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. READ THE BOOK. RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT WENT AWAY. TODAY, AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 MINUTES INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. STEERING WHEEL FROZE. RESTARTED AND OK. DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL STEERING WAS FROZEN. I AM TRAVELING, THEREFORE HAD TO FIND THE CLOSEST HONDA DEALER. I AM NOW STRANDED FOR TWO DAYS AWAITING REPAIR. I'M 8 HOURS FROM HOME, AND NOW SUSPICIOUS AND WORRIED WHETHER I WILL RETURN HOME SAFELY. AFTER READING SOME ENTRIES, I TOO HAD SLOW MOVEMENTS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE -- THOUGHT IS WAS THE NEW CVS ENGINE.

TWO WEEKS AGO MY ACCORD BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE WOULD EVENTUALLY START AND I WOULD BE ON MY WAY. UNTIL LAST FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2016. I DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, PARKED, CAME BACK OUT TO START MY CAR AND WOULD HEAR A "POPPING" SOUND LIKE THE ENGINE WAS TRYING TO START UP, BUT TO NO AVAIL. FRIEND'S NEIGHBOR IS A RETIRED AUTO MECHANIC. HE LOOKED AT THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT THE BATTERY, AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE STARTER ITSELF. ALMOST MAGICALLY, THE CAR RANDOMLY DECIDED TO START AGAIN. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO AN ADDITIONAL AUTO MECHANIC, HE TESTED THE VEHICLE (BATTERY, CABLE CONNECTIONS, WIRES THAT ATTACH TO STARTER) AND ALSO FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE STARTER. MY ACCORD HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. THE TOTAL COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE WILL BE $680, KIND OF RIDICULOUS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THIS WEEK, WITH THE CAR AT 33,000 MILES ON IT, MY ACCORDS' EPS LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF WHEN STARTING THE CAR. IF IT'S LIGHTED UP AND YOU TRY TO DRIVE, YOU HOW NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART. SOMETIMES IT TAKE UPMTOMFIVE TRY'S.

MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING (29,262 MILES) WILL NOT CRANK NOR START. THERE HAS BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS/WARNINGS, JUST WOULDN'T START ONE MORNING. IT'S PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB ALTHOUGH THE OTHER ONE WAS WORKING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I PRESS IT THE CAR UNLOCKS AS NORMAL. THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE DIRECTIONS OF HOW TO START THE CAR STILL SHOW. THE CAR IS IN PARK, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES & PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. THERE IS A SLIGHT BEEPING SOUND AND A FEW LIGHTS SHOWING IN THE DASH, BUT IT WON'T START. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN THE ACCESSORY MODE COMES ON AS NORMAL. THE RADIO PLAYS, MY PHONE CONNECTS, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WORKS, LIGHTS WORKS FINE, ETC. WHEN I PRESS IT ONCE TO TURN IT OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE AC COMES ON, & ALL THE PRE-PROGRAMMED WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ONE BY ONE WITH A BEEP. FINALLY I PRESS IT ONE FINAL TIME TO TURN IT OFF. SO EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, IT JUST WON'T START. THIS LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THE STARTER HAS GONE OUT LIKE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO VERIFY THAT. AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS & 29,000 MILES, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. AND I DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY $700-$800 WHICH IS ESTIMATED STARTER REPLACEMENT COST.

I AM THE 1ST OWNER OF MY ACCORD.THE ISSUE OCCURS WITH THE CAR BEING STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY, PARKING LOT OR ON A STREET. WITH IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING MY CAR. I WOULD TURN THE KEY THE DASH AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS WOULD LIGHT UP BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY WAS FINE. IT WOULD TAKE 3 TURNS OF THE KEY TO GET IT STARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 8/17/16 AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD STARTER. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS $900-$1000. THE CAR HAS 35000 AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 3 YEARS.

PUSH START FAILURE MY CAR HAD 50000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PUSH START BUTTON. IT DID IT ONCE A WEEK SOMETIMES AND EVENTUALLY HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. THE STARTER CHECKED OUT OK BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND KEPT THE ORIGINAL INCASE I CONTINUED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM THEY COULD RETURN THE ORIGINAL AND GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS AND SO FAR I HAVENT HAD THE PROBLEM ANYMORE. ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

THE STARTER IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD COUPE FAILED AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS AND 55,000 MILES. THE CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN I PRESSED THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND WOULD FINALLY TURN ON AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THIS WENT ON FOR 3 WEEKS UNTIL THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER START.

I PARKED VEHICLE ON RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET. RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 15 MINUTES LATER AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. MANY OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. CALLED AAA, INITIAL TECHNICIAN RESPONDED AND COULD NOT START THE CAR BY JUMPING WITH BATTERY PACK. BATTERY TESTED OK. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED, OPERATOR TRIED TO JUMP THE VEHICLE AGAIN WITH BATTERY PACK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED. TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SUGGESTED I TELL THE DEALERSHIP HE SUSPECTED THE STARTER OR THE WIRING TO THE STARTER WAS THE PROBLEM. A/C PRIOR TO THIS EVENT HAD BEEN WORKING NOW HAD NO POWER. DROVE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS LEFT AND DIAGNOSED WITH FAULTY STARTER. FUSE WAS BLOWN TO A/C. (WE DID NOTE THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN HARDER TO START RECENTLY - HAVING TO TURN THE KEY MORE THAN 1 TIME TO GET THE CAR TO START. STILL THIS WAS HARDLY NOTICEABLE OR APPARENT THAT A PROBLEM WAS DEVELOPING.) STARTER AND FUSE TO BE REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP WILL BE PICKING UP CAR HOPEFULLY TODAY. THIS WAS NOT MERELY INCONVENIENT AND UNPLEASANT BUT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS EMERGENCY FOR PERSONS WITH HEALTH/MEDICAL ISSUES - IT WAS VERY HOT OUT WITH POOR AIR QUALITY AND PASSENGER AND MYSELF WERE STRANDED AND WITHOUT A/C FOR 4 HOURS. CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND WHY THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED, 3YRS OLD WITH APPROX. 35,000. I AM SEEING NUMEROUS SIMILAR/IDENTICAL REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS.

I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT AND 2 MONTHS AGO I DEVELOPED AN ISSUE WITH THE STARTER. I'VE REPLACED THE STARTER TWICE AND TONIGHT GOT STRANDED AND HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT HOME. I'VE GONE TO THE HONDA DEALER AND, OF COURSE, THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE STARTER, BUT IT WILL COST $1000+ TO FIX! THIS ISSUE MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. HONDA IS FULLY AWARE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND IF YOU GET THE RIGHT TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP - THEY'LL TELL YOU HONDA IS FULLY AWARE, BUT COULDN'T CARE LESS! 2 STARTERS LATER - I'M STILL IN THE SAME POSITION!

GO TO START MY CAR AND LIGHTS AND AC WORK FINE. THE ENGINE DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER AND TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT OFF. THE BATTERY IS ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD AND THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE STARTER WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE. DEALER SAID THAT THIS IS WAY TOO EARLY FOR A STARTER TO GO OUT ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 550 MILES ON IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.S. HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS NEEDS THE UPMOST IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AS THIS IS A VERY COSTLY AND DETRIMENTAL ISSUE AND SOME OF US HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX THIS!!! THIS MUST BE DEALT WITH NOW BEFORE LAWSUITS START HAPPENING!
