2013-2017 Honda Accord: Recall History

Recall History for Honda Accord (2013-2017)
Based on the data provided, this summary focuses on what the NHTSA records show in your dataset. There are no official recalls listed for this model range in the data, and there is a single owner complaint related to emissions. The information below is intended to help owners understand what the data means in practical terms and what to do next if you own a 2013-2017 Honda Accord.

Official Recalls (NO RECALLS FOUND)

• No recalls found in NHTSA database for Honda Accord (2013-2017) in the provided data.

Owner Complaints (1 record)

• Complaint year: 2015
• Component: Emissions
• Mileage: 42,374 miles
• OBD Code: P0455
• Description: Check engine light came on with P0455. Car has rough idle, especially when cold. Mechanic suggested the issue is related to the emissions system. Problem started after about 62,000 miles.
• Note: This is an owner complaint, not an official recall. A P0455 code indicates an EVAP system issue, often due to a leak or related component, rather than a failure that automatically triggers a recall.

What the P0455 code means (practical explanation)

• P0455 = Evaporative Emission Control System Large Leak Detected.
• Typical symptoms you may notice besides the check engine light: rough idle (especially on cold starts), reduced fuel efficiency, or in some cases no noticeable symptoms beyond the warning light.
• In many vehicles, a P0455 is caused by a relatively large leak somewhere in the EVAP system, which is designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.

Common EVAP-related causes (general automotive knowledge)

• Loose or faulty gas cap
• Cracked or loose EVAP hoses and fittings
• Faulty EVAP purge valve (solenoid)
• Leaking or cracked charcoal canister
• Leaks around the fuel filler neck or seal
• Vacuum hose leaks or O-ring seals in the EVAP network

Diagnostic and repair approach (owner-friendly guidance)

Start with the gas cap

• Check that the gas cap is securely tightened after refueling.
• Inspect the cap and seal for cracks or damage.
• If the cap is damaged or non-sealing, replace with the correct OEM or equivalent cap.

Inspect visible EVAP hoses and connections

• Look for cracks, splits, or loose clamps on hoses in the engine bay related to EVAP plumbing.
• Check connections around the purge valve and intake manifold area.

Consider purge valve testing

• A sticking purge valve can cause EVAP symptoms and a P0455.
• A professional can test purge valve operation and replace if needed.

Look for canister or filler neck issues

• The charcoal canister can crack or become clogged over time.
• Leaks or damage around the fuel filler neck can also trigger EVAP codes.

Smoke testing

• If the leak isn’t obvious, a「smoke test」is a diagnostic method used by many shops to reveal EVAP leaks that aren’t easily visible.

After repairs

• Clear the code with an OBD scan tool and drive normally to confirm the code does not return.
• If the check engine light returns, or if symptoms persist, pursue a more thorough EVAP system inspection.

2025 cost estimates for common EVAP-related repairs (section-specific guidance)
Note: Prices vary by region and labor rates. The figures below reflect typical ranges you might see in 2025 from independent shops or dealerships.

• Gas cap replacement

  • Parts: $10–$40
  • Labor (if done by a shop): $0–$60 (many shops test and replace gas cap quickly)
  • Typical total: $20–$80

• EVAP hoses and simple fittings

  • Parts: $10–$100 (depends on length/number of hoses)
  • Labor: 1–2 hours
  • Typical total: $100–$230

• EVAP purge valve (solenoid) replacement

  • Parts: $20–$150
  • Labor: 0.5–2 hours
  • Typical total: $120–$350

• Charcoal canister replacement

  • Parts: $150–$600
  • Labor: 1.5–4 hours
  • Typical total: $400–$900

• EVAP system diagnostic/smoke testing

  • Diagnostic fee: $80–$150 (often credited toward repair if work is performed)
  • Additional costs if leaks are found and repaired (as above)

Important caveats about these costs

• Regional differences: Labor rates vary widely by region and shop type (dealer vs. independent).
• Vehicle specifics: The exact EVAP components and location can differ between engine setups (e.g., 2.0/2.4L vs. 3.5L in some Accord trims), which can affect part pricing and labor time.
• Multi-issue scenarios: If multiple EVAP components are affected or if there are concurrent emission-related concerns, costs can rise.

What this means for owners of a 2013-2017 Honda Accord

• Based on the provided data, there are no official recalls for this model range in the dataset. The single complaint about P0455 indicates an emissions-related issue, not a recall event.
• If your Accord triggers P0455 or has a similar evap-related symptom, start with simple checks (gas cap and visible hoses), then consider a diagnostic if the light persists after basic checks.
• Given the cost ranges above, many EVAP-related fixes can be affordable if caught early (gas cap or small hose leaks) but can become more substantial if the charcoal canister or purge valve needs replacement.

Data limitations and how to use this information

• The dataset provided includes one owner complaint and explicitly states no recalls found. It does not reflect any recalls or TSAs that may exist outside this snapshot or that were issued after the data period.
• If you are researching recalls for safety or warranty reasons, or if you are verifying current status, check the latest NHTSA Recall Search database (or your local regulatory agency) with your VIN for the most up-to-date information.
• The diagnostic and cost guidance here is for owner planning and educational purposes and should not substitute for a professional diagnostic assessment.

Practical takeaways for Honda Accord owners (2013-2017)

• If you see a P0455 code on your 2013-2017 Accord, begin with gas cap inspection, then inspect EVAP system components and hoses for obvious leaks or damage.
• If no obvious issue is found, plan for a diagnostic smoke test and targeted repairs (purge valve, hoses, canister) as needed.
• Budget for a range of possibilities (roughly $100–$900) depending on the exact cause and whether a simple cap replacement or more extensive EVAP component replacement is required.
• Keep in mind: a single P0455 does not automatically imply a safety recall. Monitor for repeated codes, intermittent symptoms, or multiple fault codes, and seek professional evaluation if problems persist.

Data transparency and what to do next

• This guide uses only the information provided in the dataset: one owner complaint and no recalls listed. It does not capture any recalls that may exist outside this dataset or updates released after the data period.
• For the most current recall status and service advisories, consult the NHTSA Recall Database or your Honda dealer, and use your VIN to check for model-year-specific campaigns.
