Known issues for this generation

Certain 2023-2024 Accords, all trim levels, were included in a safety recall (NHTSA campaign 24V-763, Honda Service Bulletin 24-123) for an improperly manufactured high-pressure fuel pump that can fracture and develop a fuel leak. Honda states a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of a fire or injury, and dealers inspect the pump and replace it when it fails the inspection.
