Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the vehicle's age, mileage, or how many owners it has had. Check your VIN against the NHTSA database to see what is still outstanding on your specific vehicle, a recall listed here may already have been performed.

Hybrid loss of drive power, software recall

major

A programming error from Honda's supplier can make the integrated control module (ICM) reset while driving, cutting drive power until the system reboots, a serious hazard in traffic. Honda recalled about 256,600 US 2023–2025 Accord Hybrids in November 2025 (Honda campaign TN2); the fix is a free dealer software update. Check your VIN if you own any 11th-gen hybrid.

Most affected: 2023–2025 (hybrid)Typical cost: Free under recall (software update)Recall/TSB: NHTSA 25V-785 (Honda TN2)

Front seat belt pretensioner missing rivet (recall)

major

Driver and front-passenger seat belt pretensioners may have been assembled without a rivet, so the belt may not restrain properly in a crash. Honda recalled 2023–2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles in November 2023; dealers inspect and replace the pretensioner assembly free.

Most affected: 2023–2024Typical cost: Free under recallRecall/TSB: NHTSA 23V-782

Infotainment / Google built-in glitches

minor

Touring's Google-built-in head unit and the standard units draw complaints for freezes, wireless CarPlay dropouts, and slow boots, especially on 2023 cars. Over-the-air and dealer software updates have steadily improved it; a long-press of the power button reboots the unit. Software, not hardware, in most cases.

Most affected: 2023–2024Typical cost: $0 (software updates)

1.5T oil dilution vigilance (carryover engine)

minor

The 11th gen keeps the L15 1.5T, and while complaint volume is far lower than 2018–2019, the same short-trip fuel-dilution mechanism exists. Watch for an oil level above the full mark or a fuel smell on the dipstick and shorten change intervals for short-trip winter use. No recall or TSB campaign exists for 2023+.

Most affected: 2023–2025 (1.5T)Typical cost: $0 (extra oil changes)
