Check your VIN against the NHTSA database to see what is still outstanding. ## 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: 2023-2024. Typical cost: Free under recall. Recall/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: 2023-2024. Typical 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).
