Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Starts With a VIN Check

NHTSA recall information identifies three potential safety concerns for certain 2014 Honda Accord vehicles. A driveshaft problem may cause sudden loss of drive power or allow the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not applied. A battery sensor case may admit water, creating an electrical short and increasing fire risk. An engine connecting rod bolt issue may lead to power loss, stalling, or an oil leak near hot components, also increasing fire risk. Waiting can leave a known manufacturer safety issue unresolved. A VIN check helps determine whether your Accord needs a free remedy, even if it drives normally.
