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.

Electrical system, Structure, Feb 27, 2013
I HAVE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD TOURING MODEL. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCW) WHICH HAS A RADAR SENSOR IN THE GRILLE. THE SYSTEM ALERTS CAN BE SET FOR LONG, NORMAL OR SHORT. WHEN SET FOR LONG THE ALERT SHOULD COME ON ABOUT THREE CAR LENGTHS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD. IF THE SYSTEM DETERMINES A COLLISION IS POSSIBLE, IT SHOULD GIVE BOTH VISUAL & AUDIBLE ALERTS, INCLUDING A HEADS-UP WARNING THAT FLASHES ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE FCW SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AS IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. IN FACT IT ONLY ALERTS @ RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERS TECHNICIAN CHECK IT OUT ON HIGHWAYS, MAIN STREETS & LOCAL STREETS. HE COULD ONLY GET THE SYSTEM TO GIVE AN ALERT ONCE WHEN THE CAR AHEAD WAS STANDING AT A RED LIGHT. THE ALERT CAME WHEN WE WERE ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AHEAD. HE TRIED IT AGAIN @ THE NEXT RED LIGHT & IT DID NOT GIVE ANY ALERT. I HAVE TESTED THE SYSTEM AT ALL SPEEDS & DISTANCES DRIVING BEHIND A CAR DRIVEN BY MY WIFE, NO ALERTS. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING & HE WOULD CALL AMERICAN HONDA TO GET INFORMATION ON HOW THE SYSTEM SHOULD WORK. HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH AMERICAN HONDA & AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY DO NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM HAVING THEM OR ANY THIRD PARTY CHECK OUT THE FCW SYSTEM. *TR
Steering, Structure, Feb 26, 2013, crash
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED FREE SPINNING AND THE TIRES WERE NOT CONTROLLED BY THE STEERING WHEEL ANY LONGER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I HIT A WALL AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. HONDA HAS NEVER COME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD. MY VEHICLE IS STILL SITTING AT THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT ANYTHING DONE TO IT. HONDA WILL NOT LOOK INTO WHAT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE STEERING. *TR UPDATED 06/13/13*LJ
Seats, Feb 23, 2013
THE SEATS ARE HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED, THEY MAKE YOU HUNCH OVER, WHERE YOUR SPINE IS IN THE SHAPE OF A C, INSTEAD OF HOW IT SHOULD BE. THE HEADREST PUSHES YOUR HEAD FORWARD THAT FURTHERS THE PAIN. I GOT A LUMBAR CUSHION (TO MAKE DRIVING THE CAR BEARABLE), BUT NOW THERE IS AN GAP BETWEEN MY UPPER BACK AND THE SEAT. I'VE ALSO HAD TO TURN AROUND THE HEADREST, BECAUSE IT WAS HURTING MY NECK PUSHING MY NECK SO FAR FORWARD WHEN THE REST OF ME IS SET BACK. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PAIN WITH A NEW CAR OR ANY CAR. MAKE THE HEADRESTS ADJUSTABLE AND SEATS WITH ERGONOMIC SUPPORT STANDARD! *TR
Power train, Feb 17, 2013
WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 20+ MPH TO COME TO A STOP THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK (WHEN THE RPM INDICATOR IS CLOSE TO 1) BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ACCORD AFTER MY FORMER CAR WAS REAR ENDED AND I SUFFERED SEVERE WHIPLASH AND BACK PAIN. AS A RESULT OF THIS I DID NOT REALIZE THE POOR DESIGN OF THE SEAT, AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE HEAD RESTS. IN MY TEST DRIVE LASTING 10 - 15 MINUTES I DID NOT NOTICE IT, BUT AFTER TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP AND DRIVING THE CAR 1 HOUR EACH WAY TO AND FROM WORK, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HEAD REST STICKS OUT SO FAR THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR, AND ADDITIONALLY, IT HURT THE THORACIC PORTION OF MY MIDDLE BACK. I KNOW THIS, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH I AM STILL IN PHYSICAL THERAPY, ON THE WEEKEND WHEN I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR MY BACK HURTS MUCH LESS THAN IT DOES DURING THE WEEK WHEN I MAKE MY COMMUTE TO WORK. ADDITIONALLY THIS WEEKEND MY WIFE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR FOR A LONG DRIVE AND SHE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME PAIN THAT I SUFFERED FROM. IT IS SO BAD, WE HAD TO CUT OUR TRIP SHORT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A DEFECT BUT A REQUIREMENT BY THE US GOVERNMENT. THEREFORE I AM CONTACTING YOU CONCERNING HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A CAR WAS VEERING INTO MY LANE. AS I WENT TO THE LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL JUST KEPT SPINNING AND THE TIRES WERE GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT CORRESPONDING WITH THE TIRES. WE JERKED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM LANE TO LANE UNTIL WE FINALLY CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL OF THE HIGHWAY. WE THEN SPUN OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE RESTED. HONDA HAD NOT RESPONDED AT THIS TIME BUT EVERYONE INCLUDING THE GUYS AT THE HIS BODY SHIP FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

THIS CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON START ON AND OFF. THE ENGINE CAN BE CUT OFF WITH CAR IN ANY GEAR AND IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN PARK. I LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE ON A HILL AND WENT TO GET OUT AND THE CAR WAS DRIFTING FORWARD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FEATURES AND THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN.

VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

ON 1/16/2013 WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT CAME ON AND BLINKED OFF AND ON THREE TIMES AND WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE GAS CAP WAS CHECKED IT WAS NOT LOOSE. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT THEN CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED OVER THE PHONE AND A TECHNICIAN SAID THIS WAS NORMAL AND THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WOULD GO OUT.THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT AND AFTER A COUPLE DAYS YOU COULD SMELL FUEL IN THE CAR IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT WAS LEAKING AT A SEAM. NO LEAKAGE WAS NOTED UNDER THE VEHICLE. DEALER IS REPLACING THE GAS TANK UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE WHILE SLOWING DOWN FROM 20+ MPH TO COME TO A STOP THERE IS A NOTICEABLE JERK (WHEN THE RPM INDICATOR IS CLOSE TO 1) BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GUN HONDA, SAN ANTONIO) AND THE TECHNICIAN COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT MENTIONED IT AS A FEATURE OF THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION AND SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW OF ANY WAY TO FIX THE SAME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHEN I NEED TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. *TR

AFFECTED PARTS: WINDSHIELD AND WIPERS. THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY TIME, ABOUT 8:45 AM: A GENTLE RAIN WAS ENCOUNTERED SO I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO SLOW AND STEADY (NOT INTERMITTENT). THE WATER PILED UP ON THE WINDSHIELD TO THE LEFT BY THE DOOR POST AND TO THE RIGHT NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUED TO STAY THERE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN OFF THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS CLEAR. THE WATER RESTRICTED MY VIEW TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT (FROM THE LEFT DOOR POST TO ABOUT 10:30 CLOCK POSITION, AND FROM ABOUT 1:30 TO 2:30 POSITION. DANGEROUS IN STANDARD DAYLIGHT, BUT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, OR WITH A MUCH HEAVIER RAIN. THE CAR IS NEW AND THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH ENOUGH RAIN THAT I'VE HAD TO TURN THE WIPERS ON STEADY. *TR

CAME TO STOP AT STOP SIGN. NEW HONDA ACCORD 2013 4 DOOR SUDDENLY TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I PUSHED DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE MOTION FORWARD. IT ONLY MOVED A FOOT OR TWO AND WITH MY WIFE YELLING I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL. SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF US. I AM 51 AND A FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL. MY WIFE IS 52 AND A PHYSICIAN. THIS WAS COMPLETELY REAL. *TR

2013 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN, V6, TOURING MODEL I STOPPED AT THE SIGNAL LIGHT AT ROUTE 50 AND CHAIN BRIDGE ROAD; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO LEAVE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED - THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING OR ACCELERATING. CARS BEHIND ME HONKED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MORE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES SPUN A LITTLE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. THIS GAVE ME A SCARE! THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 10-15 MILES LATER AS I WAS ARRIVING NEAR MY HOME IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE IS NOT CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK, SURGE, OR ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN; DURING THIS PERIOD OF HESITATION, WHEN I NEED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, IT APPEARS TO MOMENTARY DIE, STALL, OR RUN OUT OF GAS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS VERY ODD, SO I INSPECTED THE ACCELERATOR AREA, FLOOR MATS, ETC. AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2012, NOVEMBER 27, 2012, DEC 4, 2012 AND DEC 11, 2012. I VISITED FAIRFAX HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT HOPING FOR A QUICK REMEDY. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE SERVICE MANAGER AND I DROVE THE CAR TOGETHER DURING MY 11 DEC 2012 VISIT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS WAS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 2012 HONDA ACCORD SEDAN. HE AND I THEN DROVE A 2012 HONDA ACCORD AND I FOUND THIS TO BE OBVIOUS WHEN DRIVING THE 2012 HONDA. I AM VERY SURPRISED THIS DANGEROUS TECHNICAL PROBLEM/ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AND REMEDIED FOR THE 2013 VEHICLE. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE HESITATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE I MAY BE HIT FROM THE REAR OR HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS RECURRING MALFUNCTION. MY WIFE FEELS THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED THIS TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE FILE [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PLEASE, PLEASE BACK OFF ON YOUR HEAD REST REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY. PLEASE ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO CHOOSE THE POSITION OF THE HEAD REST. NOT ONLY HONDA, BUT FORD, GM, CHRYSLER, ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE CREATING VERY PAINFUL CAR SEATS SINCE 2009 DUE TO THIS AWFUL HEADREST REQUIREMENT. SEATBELTS ARE A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. MOTORCYCLE HELMETS ARE NO LONGER A LAW, BUT I CHOOSE TO WEAR THEM. NOW LET ME CHOOSE MY HEADREST POSITION. I THINK THESE NEW DESIGNS ARE GOING TO CAUSE FAR MORE INJURIES AND INSURANCE CLAIMS FROM PEOPLE HAVING THEIR HEADS COCKED FORWARD, IN A FORCED IMPROPER POSTURE. I HAD MIGRAINES DUE TO MY HEADREST BEFORE I RESOLVED THIS ISSUE IN MY CAR BY MAKING MODIFICATIONS. I SIT WITH PROPER POSTURE AND MY HEAD IS FORCED FORWARD. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO SIT IMPROPERLY IN ORDER TO TRY TO AVOID THE TERRIBLE DISCOMFORT THIS NEW LAW FORCES ON ME. PLEASE CHANGE THIS LAW. *TR
Suspension, Wheels, Dec 5, 2012
RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION MAKES A METAL TO METAL SQUEAL NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT WHILE THE WHEELS ARE ROLLING. CROWN HONDA, DURHAM, NC REPLACE THREE PARTS IN THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION UNDER WARRANTY AS DIRECTED BY HONDA TECH LINE ON NOV. 20, 2012. HOWEVER, AS OF DEC. 5, 2012, THE SQUEAL NOISE HAS RETURNED WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION NOW MAKES A CLUNK NOISE WHEN TRAVELING OVER SMALL DIPS IN THE ROADWAY. SINCE THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE METAL TO METAL RUBBING, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT BREAKAGE OF THESE MOVING PARTS AND MY OVERALL SAFETY. *TR
Electrical system, Equipment, Oct 2, 2012
MY NEW 2013 ACCORD HAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE USER INTERFACE TO THE PHONE AND MUSIC. THE PHONE BOOK, XM, AND USB MUSIC ARE DISPLAYED IN LONG LISTS. MY 32 GB DRIVE HAS 300 ALBUMS. MY FULL COLLECTION HAS MANY MORE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO FAST WAY TO SCROLL THESE LISTS. THE DRIVER MUST REACH TO THE FURTHEST-RIGHT KNOB AND TWIST. THIS MOVES THE LIST DOWN ONE ITEM. SO SELECTING ANY LIST ITEM WHILE DRIVING TAKES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF THE ROAD, CAUSES BODILY CONTORTIONS (IT IS A LONG REACH), AND MAKES I IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY SCROLL MORE THAN A FEW DOZEN PLACES DOWN THE LIST. *TR
