Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Against Recall Risks

NHTSA identifies two safety concerns for certain 2013 Honda Accord vehicles. A driveshaft assembled with a lubrication problem may break, causing sudden loss of drive power or allowing the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not applied. A battery-sensor case may allow water intrusion, potentially creating an electrical short and increasing fire risk. Waiting to check an open recall leaves these risks unresolved. Honda’s specified remedies include driveshaft inspection and replacement when necessary, plus battery-sensor repair or the applicable interim protection. Because recall work is free when covered, checking promptly is a sensible step for you, your passengers, and others on Jacksonville roads.
