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 GOT OFF WORK AND THE HORN WAS HONKING. IT HAD BEEN HONKING SO LONG THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AND THEN WHEN SOMEONE JUMP STARTED IT AND I STARTED TO DRIVE OFF, IT HONKED SOME MORE. A FEW MINUTES LATER ENTERING THE FREEWAY IT STARTED HONKING ONCE AGAIN! EACH TIME THE HONKING STOPPED WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL. 3 TIMES IN ONE MORNING IT HONKED AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED THE WHEEL. SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE THE HONKING COMES AND GOES ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. BUT THIS LATEST INCIDENT HAS BEEN THE WORST BY FAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE FELLA BEHIND ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM..HE CALLED IT RANDOM HONKING. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE PARKED IN AN PLAZA ON PEMBROKE ROAD AT THE BEGINNING ON MARCH 2015. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN X 2 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE RUNNING) ON SEPARATE DAYS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ALONG PINES BOULEVARD IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (TUESDAY APRIL 21ST 2015), AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF HIATUS ROAD AND PINES BOULEVARD, I STARTED SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN SHUT DOWN/STALLED AGAIN. THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A RED LIGHT HELPED TO PREVENT AND ACCIDENT, AS EVERYONE DRIVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION HAD TO STOP. THIS TIME I HAD TO CALL FOR A POLICE CRUISER TO STAND IN PLACE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET A TOW OR GET IT STARTED AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED AGAIN AND MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 22, 2015. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY (4-23-2015), FUEL PUMP (4-24-2015) THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS AND IS NOW GETTING MORE FREQUENT. THEY (AUTONATION HONDA IN MIAMI LAKES) HAVE BEEN TRYING TO 'FIX' THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET SUCCEEDED. TODAY IS MAY 3RD 2015 I AM ASKING THAT THE NTSB LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE, AS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC, THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY STEERING HAS GONE OUT. 1ST TIME WAS ON APRIL 4 2015 GOING APPROX. 20 MILES PER HOUR, WAS ABOUT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. WAS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF WHAT HAPPEN BUT STEERING GOT EXTREMELY HARD. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF, PULL OUT THE MANUAL AND SEE WHAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH MEANT. THEN ON APRIL 24 2015, GOING APPROX. 75 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE IT WENT OUT AGAIN. COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK DRIVING HOME. AFTER THIS SECOND INCIDENT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO RESEARCH AND SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WOW THERE ARE SEVERAL. ITS A SHAME THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BY NOW. I AM MORE APPALLED BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT THEIR VEHICLES IN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE PEOPLE THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING GETS DONE. WILL PEOPLE NEED TO BE KILLED LIKE THE OTHERS CAR ISSUES BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED? MY CAR JUST TURNED TO 20,000 MILES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUES. MY CAR IS GOING IN ON MONDAY FOR SERVICE. LETS SEE HOW THIS IS HANDLED. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, OR SLOW DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING AT A SLOW SPEED FROM APPROX. 15 MPH TO 25 MPH, THE CAR APPEARS TO STALL. AS IF THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED. WHEN I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR NOTHING HAPPENS. IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THEN PUSH DOWN AGAIN, THE CAR SURGES AHEAD. I HAVE CALLED THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECH ALWAYS SAYS THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I AM AFRAID THAT ON ONE OF THOSE TIMES THAT THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER THAT I WILL BE TAILGATED IF THERE IS SOMEONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. I AM ALSO AFRAID THAT ONE OF THE TIMES I AGAIN PUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT THE CAR MAY SURGE AHEAD TOO FAST AND I MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SANE EXPERIENCE. *TR
