Why Honda Initiated This Recall

Honda issued this recall after discovering that some Accord Hybrid models may experience unexpected resets of the Integrated Control Module due to software coding irregularities. This controller manages essential hybrid systems, and a restart while driving could momentarily shut down propulsion.

Although the vehicle may appear to operate normally, the issue can occur unpredictably, which is why Honda recommends completing the recall promptly.

Common Signs of the Software Concern

Owners may notice:

  • Unexpected drop in power or acceleration

  • Warning lights, including a "Ready Off" message

  • Sudden restart of engine or hybrid components

These symptoms may appear briefly and may not occur every time the vehicle is driven. Even without noticeable issues, the recall still applies to affected models.

Hare Honda technicians will perform:

  1. An official software update to the Integrated Control Module

  2. A no charge recall repair, as required for all safety related updates

  3. A quick service visit, often under one hour
