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.

THERE'S A LOT OF VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO THERE IS A LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND LIKE IT'S NOT COMPLETELY SEALED.

MY POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE IN ONE DAY. WHILE TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. EACH TIME IT WAS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION ON A CITY STREET TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. I AM LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 TO 65 MPH, GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT CRUISING SPEED (65 MPH) RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED. THEN TAP THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO GET BACK ON SPEED, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I START NOTICING THIS AROUND 8000 MILES ON THE CAR. CAR NOW HAS 13,200 MILES. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER , BUT HONDA IS SAYING IT IS NORMAL. GRINDING NOISE INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THAT SPEED IS NOT NORMAL. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE DONE THE ROAD, GRINDING NOISE IS CAUSED BY TWO OBJECTS RUBBING AT EACH OTHER, ONE DAY THIS OBJECTS WILL WEAR OUT AND FAIL. IVE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO HONDA, BUT NO RESOLUTION. I'M HOPING NHTSA CAN HELP

I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 HONDA ACCORD SPORT (CVT) IN 2013. AS OF OCTOBER 6, 2015, THE CAR IS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 37,447 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK AND ALL I HEAR ARE CLICKS. IT TAKES 3-5 IGNITION ATTEMPTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TRY. FURTHERMORE, SOMETIMES I LEAVE IT ALONE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO WITH THE KEY OUT AND THEN IT WILL START. ONCE IT STARTS, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE FINE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TEST THE BATTERY AND THE RESULT WAS A GOOD BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE AND WILL NOT GIVE A GOODWILL WARRANTY TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THIS STARTUP PROBLEM. THEY SAID I WOUD HAVE TO PAY IF NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

I AM DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER STEERING. I AM A BIG GUY AND I HAVE TO USE A LOT OF STRENGTH TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART CAR. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED 3X TIME IN THE LAST MONTH

ON JULY 2, 2015 WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, POWER STEERING FAILED AND INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER NEXT DAY, SOFTWARE UPDATE DONE, AND I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT REOCCUR. ON OCT 6, 2015, WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, IT FAILED AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER AND TOLD THEY WILL NOW REPLACE GEARBOX. I ASKED WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS AND HOW THIS FIX WILL WORK AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW! THEY'RE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AND APPEARS HONDA DOES NOT TRULY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL APPLIED HARD BRAKING WHILE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE REPORTED MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE. BRAKING WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO PROPEL OCCUPANTS AGAINST SEAT BELTS AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO THE LEFT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A REAR END COLLISSION

SINCE DELIVERY DATE OF VEHICLE FROM DEALER MY VEHICLES NAVIGATION AND STEREO HAVE NOT WORKED. I BROUGHT IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, THEY REPLACED THE NAVIGATION AND STEREO AND THE PROBLEM STILL TO THIS DAY EXIST. WHEN THIS RADIO IS ON SOMETIMES IT FREEZES AND THE NAV UNIT STATES THE RADIO IS OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT JUST STAYS ON, VOLUME INCREASES ON ITS OWN, CANNOT USE TOUCH SCREEN, CANNOT CHANGE STATIONS AND THEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH GO ON AND OFF AND CAR SHUTS OFF. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IF IT GOES BACK TO WORKING THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THAT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO KEEP DRIVING IT AND BRING IT BACK. ON SEPT 21 I BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALER AND IT SHUT OFF AT DEALER 3X'S MAKING THEM JUMP START IT AND I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RECEIVED MY CAR WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WORKS. THEY SAID THE BATTERY AND COMPUTER TEST COME BACK OK BUT THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY IN HOPES THAT THAT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS 9/24/15 AND SAME THING HAPPENED THIS MORNING. BUT SINCE AFTER 3 HOURS OF TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON IT DID AND I CANT GO BACK TO BEING WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, HAVE TO WORK AND KNOW THE DEALER WILL SAY ITS WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO JUST PRAY IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE ROAD

I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW AND ABOUT A MONTH INTO ME OWNING THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE EPS LIGHT CAME ON FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN CLEARED. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVNT HAD ANY PROBLEMS UP UNTIL LAST WEEK. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE EPS LIGHT COMES ON. I HAD TO MUSCLE THE CAR OVER A FEW LANES TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO AVOID HITTING ANYONE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE EPS LIGHT CLEARS AND THE STEERING WHEEL FUNCTION GOES BACK TO NORMAL. SINCE THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE I FIGURED IT WILL BE FINE. I THOUGHT THAT UNTIL MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THEN AGAIN AS I AM A FEW MILES FROM HOME. I HAD TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND FROM SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY HAD ACCESS TO MY CAR AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND I'M SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR LATER ON THIS WEEK TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

DURING A TRIP TO VIRGINIA FROM FLA. I STOPPED AT ROCK HILL CAROLINS FOR GAS. UPON LEAVING THE STATION AND BEFORE GETTING BACK ON 95 NORTH MY POWER STEERING FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR RESETTING THE STEERING. APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES LATER ON 95 THE STEERING FAILED A SECOND TIME. I AGAIN MADE THE NEXT EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO RESET EVERYTHING. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME WITH NO SUBSEQUENT FAILURES. THE POWER STEERING ELECTRONIC MODULE WAS REPLACED BY HONDA APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO OR LESS AND THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE SYMPTOMS AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A PRINCIPAL SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I BEGAN TO HEAR A STRANGE SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AS IT BECAME LOUDER, I DETECTED IT WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL. WHEN I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASED MY SPEED THE NOISE BECAME SLIGHTLY LOUDER SO I SLOWED DOWN TO 50 MPH. SUDDENLY THE NEXT THING I KNEW THE CAR BEGAN EXPERIENCING DRAG AND SLOWED SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND REALIZED THE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE TREAD ON THE TIRE IS STILL VERY GOOD THOUGH. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER THREE (3) TIRES AND WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD REPLACE THEM, AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M WORKING IN KOREA WITH THE US MILITARY AND HAD MY CAR SHIPPED OVER HERE. WHEN I CALLED HONDA IN THE STATES ABOUT THE MATTER (TIRE WARRANTY = 6 YEARS) THEY STATED WHILE LIVING ABROAD THEY DO NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY UNTIL I RETURN.

AFTER ABOUT 2 AND A HALF HOURS OF DRIVING, MY BUTT (RIGHT SIDE) AND LEG WOULD HURT UNBEARABLY, TO THE POINT OF ME TWISTING AND TURNING TO GET COMFORTABLE. I WOULD PULL OVER AT A REST STOP, WALK AROUND FOR 10 - 15 MINS, BUT ABOUT 90MINS OF DRIVING LATER THE PAIN IS BACK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS IN BOTH FRONT SEATS. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE BACK SEATS AS YET. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING. A CAUTION LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS WITHIN A FEW MILES OF A HONDA DEALERSHIP, SO I DROVE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON; AND, THE POWER STEERING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS TRANSITORY AND I RESUMED TRAVELING ON I-95. LESS THAN 20 MILES LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND ONCE AGAIN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. I THEN DROVE APPROXIMATELY 250 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. LATER THAT SAME DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAUTION INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TWO DAYS LATER AT ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP. ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC AT 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES BEFORE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER. THAT DAY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY CLEARED THE FAULT INDICATOR FROM THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY; AND, TOLD ME TO RETURN IF THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 55 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ONE MORE TIME, ALONG WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT AGAIN APPEARING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT THE SAME TIME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME, THAT AFTER TALKING WITH HONDA ADVISORS VIA TELEPHONE, HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM; AND, INSTRUCTED THEM ON A FIX. AFTER PERFORMING THAT FIX, THEY SAID HONDA INFORMED THEM, THAT IF THE POWER STEERING DIDN'T FAIL WITHIN 500 MILES, IT WOULDN'T RECUR IN THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES SINCE THE FIX, THE POWER STEERING AGAIN FAILED. THE CAR IS GOING BACK TO HONDA, AGAIN.

THE CAR HAS LOST POWER STEERING ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST ONE AND ONE HALF WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME, 8/19/2015, AFTER WAITING AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE TURN. I FORCED THE TURN AND COULD SMELL A BURNING SMELL. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, READ THE MANUAL, THEN TURNED THE CAR ON AND DROVE THE LESS THAN A MILE TO MY HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. ON 8/26/2015, AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN A HALF MILE FROM HOME AT NOT MORE THAN 20-30 MILES AN HOUR, THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. I RETURNED HOME AND DROVE THE CAR LESS THAN 20 MILES TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN WESLEY CHAPEL FLORIDA. THEY KEPT THE CAR. WHEN I PICKED IT UP ON 8/27/2015, I WAS TOLD THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD BEEN DONE. ON 8/28/2015, I DROVE THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES AROUND TOWN DOING ERRANDS. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO BACK OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT, I NOTICED THE STEERING SYMBOL WAS LIGHTED AND FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, THEN RIGHT BACK ON AND RETURNED HOME. I AM NOW GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER IN WESLEY CHAPEL.
