Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Recall Risks

NHTSA reports two safety recalls affecting the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid. A Battery-related DC-DC converter problem may prevent the 12-volt battery from recharging and could cause a loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. A Body Control Module software error may disrupt communication with systems such as the windshield wipers, defroster, rearview camera, exterior lights, stopped-vehicle warning, and power windows. These issues can reduce visibility, awareness, or control. Waiting can leave a safety-related defect unresolved, so schedule service promptly after receiving a notice or whenever you are uncertain about completed recall work.
