Known issues for this generation

Certain 2018-2022 Accords with the 1.5L turbocharged engine are affected by a documented head-gasket defect: coolant can seep through grooves in the cylinder head and degrade the gasket, eventually leaking into the cylinders. This causes engine misfires, a rough-running engine, and reduced coolant that can lead to overheating if unaddressed. The defect is the subject of proposed class-action litigation covering 2018-2022 Accord, 2016-2022 Civic, and 2017-2022 CR-V models with this engine family.
