Problem: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Accord vehicles equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and a continuously-variable transmission that were originally sold, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The drive shafts were assembled with a lubricant that may have degraded the drive shafts' protective coating, making it more susceptible to damage from road salt or other contaminants, and potentially cause it to break.

Risk: A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Service Brakes · reported Sep 15, 2026
The original ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) module in my 2014 Honda Accord failed approximately 3 years ago. The ABS warning light came on and the system stopped functioning properly.

Due to the high cost of a new OEM module, I purchased a used Honda ABS module from a junkyard as a replacement. The replacement module is now also failing with the same symptoms (ABS warning light, loss of ABS function). This indicates a systemic defect in the module design rather than an isolated…
