2013-15 model year Honda CR2/CR3 Accord: incorrect CMBS interpretation
In June 2015, a recall was issued for Honda CR2 and CR3 Accord vehicles that were fitted with Honda’s ‘Collision Mitigation Braking System’ (CMBS). In rare cases, the CMBS may interpret inanimate roadside objects as obstacles and apply emergency braking, increasing the risk of a collision (PRA 2015/14764). The recalled vehicles had VINs in the following ranges:
- 2013YM Accord VTi-LT: MRHCR2640DP040001 to MRHCR2640DP040728;

2013-16 model year Honda CR2/CR3 Accord: battery sensor and fire hazard
In July 2017, a recall was issued for 2013-16 model year Honda CR2/CR3 Accord vehicles. In these vehicles, the battery sensor may have been improperly manufactured and have gaps that could allow moisture intrusion. If moisture containing conductive substances (such as road salt) entered the battery sensor, it could cause a short circuit and a fire. For the recalled vehicles, the battery sensor was to be inspected to determine if a countermeasure part had previously been installed; if required, the battery sensor would be replaced (PRA 2017/16191). The recalled vehicles were as follows –
- 2013 model year Honda CR2 Accord manufactured from 19 March 2013 to 27 January 2014;
- 2014 model year Honda CR2 Accord manufactured from 21 March 2014 to 23 January 2015;
- 2015 model year Honda CR2 Accord manufactured from 5 March 2015 to 17 December 2015;
- 2016 model year Honda CR2 Accord manufactured from 20 February 2016 to 7 March 2016;

2018 model year Honda CR2/CR3 Accord: fuel pump could stop working and cause engine to stall
In July 2020, recall campaign 6FE was issued for 2018 model year Honda CR2/CR3 Accord vehicles and this recall was updated in June 2021. Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell and cause the fuel pump to become inoperative. If the fuel pump stopped working, the engine could stall while driving – this could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-000585.
