Understanding the Recall

Honda is taking proactive measures by recalling over 65,100 Accord sedans due to a significant issue with the drive shaft. This recall particularly affects model-year 2013 Accords equipped with a four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT). Owners of these vehicles should be aware of the potential risks associated with this recall.

Corrosion and Safety Risks

The primary concern with the affected vehicles is that the drive shafts may corrode and fail, primarily due to exposure to road salt and other contaminants. A failing drive shaft can lead to a loss of drive power, which may pose alarming safety hazards, including the possibility of the car rolling away while parked if the brake isn’t applied. Such scenarios could considerably increase the risk of a crash and possible injury.

Steps for Honda Owners

Honda will inspect and replace the drive shaft at no cost to the owners. Letters notifying affected owners are set to be mailed on August 11. Meanwhile, for immediate assistance or inquiries regarding the recall, Honda can be reached at 888-234-2138. Additionally, owners can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit their website to verify their vehicle identification number and gather further details.
