2014 HONDA ACCORD; 2015 HONDA ACCORD; 2013 HONDA ACCORD
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles with 4-cylinder engines and continuously-variable transmissions that were sold or registered in specific northeastern and midwestern states. The drive shafts in these vehicles were assembled with a lubricant that may have damaged their protective coating, making them more vulnerable to corrosion from road salt and other contaminants, which could cause the drive shaft to break.
A broken drive shaft can cause sudden loss of drive power and may allow the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not engaged, increasing the risk of crashes or injuries. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace both drive shafts if necessary at no charge. Owners should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
