Recall History for 2018-2023 Honda Accord
Data snapshot (based on the material provided)
- Official recalls: No recalls found in NHTSA database
- Owner complaints: No NHTSA complaints found for this make/model/year/issue combination
What this means for owners
- There are no NHTSA-backed recalls listed for the 2018–2023 Honda Accord in the data you provided.
- There are no NHTSA-recorded owner complaints for these model years in the data provided.
- Important caveat: The absence of recalls or complaints in this dataset does not guarantee that no issues exist. NHTSA data is limited to what has been reported and filed in the official database. There may be service bulletins (TSBs), dealer notices, or non-reported concerns that aren’t captured here. There also can be recalls or complaints in other data sources or jurisdictions that aren’t reflected in this snapshot.
- Practical implication: Even with no recalls or complaints on file, owners should rely on routine maintenance, watchdog for unusual symptoms, and stay in touch with a Honda dealer about any requested service bulletins or safety advisories that might arise outside the formal recall process.
Practical guidance for 2018–2023 Accord owners
- Routine maintenance cadence remains the primary safeguard.
- Engine oil and filter: follow Honda’s recommended interval for your exact engine (1.5L turbo or 2.0L turbo). Typical schedules range around every 5,000–7,500 miles, depending on driving conditions and oil type.
- Air filters (engine and cabin), fluids (coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid), and tire maintenance should be checked regularly.
- Brake system: monitor pad wear and rotor condition; replace as needed based on wear and driving style.
- Transmission considerations
- The Accord uses different automatic transmissions depending on the engine choice (CVT for some 1.5L variants; traditional automatic with more gears for some 2.0L variants). Pay attention to smooth shifting, harsh or delayed engagement, or any unusual noises.
- Electrical and infotainment
- Modern Hondas can experience software-related glitches or minor touchscreen/cluster quirks. If you see persistent software freezes, reset steps per the owner's manual or visit the dealer for a software update.
- Safety systems
- Even without recalls, features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and braking assist rely on sensors and software. If any camera/sensor warning appears, or safety systems behave oddly, have the system checked promptly.
- What to do if you notice a potential issue
- Document symptoms (when they happen, conditions, vehicle mileage).
- Check for any open service bulletins with your dealer.
- If you suspect a safety-related fault, contact Honda roadside assistance or your dealer promptly.
Maintenance plan and 2025 cost estimates (USD)
Note: These are general, typical-cost ranges for common maintenance items in 2025. Actual prices vary by region, shop, tire choice, and vehicle condition.
- Oil change and filter
- Typical range: $50–$100 (labor and filter included). Premium synthetic oil can push toward $70–$120.
- Engine air filter
- Parts: $15–$30. Installation: often included with a routine service if you request it; overall service cost typically $20–$60.
- Cabin air filter
- Parts: $15–$50. Service: $20–$70 depending on whether replacement is done during a larger service.
- Tire replacement (per tire)
- Depending on tire size and brand: roughly $120–$350 each. A full set may cost $480–$1,400, plus mounting/balancing.
- Brake pads and rotors (per axle)
- Front or rear pad replacement: $150–$300 per axle (pads only).
- Rotor replacement if needed: an additional $150–$300 per rotor (or more if rotors are severely worn or warped).
- Combined front and rear overhaul (pads + rotors) can range from $300–$900 per axle, depending on parts and labor.
- Brake fluid flush
- Typical cost: $70–$150.
- Battery replacement
- Parts: $100–$200 (or more for advanced AGM/types). Installation often included at the shop.
- Transmission service (CVT or conventional automatic, depending on engine)
- Fluid change or “transmission service”: $150–$350 (CVT-specific services can be on the higher end).
- Spark plugs
- Parts: $20–$40 per plug (locations vary by engine; 4- or 6-cylinders).
- Labor: $100–$250 depending on engine access and whether coil packs must be removed.
- Approximate range for a complete job: $200–$500.
- Coolant flush and refill
- Typical cost: $100–$150.
- Timing chain-related service (if/when needed)
- The 2018–2023 Accord engines use a timing chain. Major work (e.g., water pump replacement associated with timing chain service, or rare timing chain repair) can be significantly more expensive, often in the $1,000–$2,000 range depending on labor and parts. This is only relevant if a chain-related issue occurs or a long-term service is recommended by a dealer.
Data limitations and how to use this history
- This recall history reflects what’s present in the provided data. There are no listed official recalls or owner complaints for 2018–2023 Accord in this dataset.
- If you are evaluating a specific used Accord, always verify current recall status and open service bulletins with:
- The NHTSA recall database, using your VIN, or
- Honda’s official recall and service bulletin resources, or
- Your local Honda dealership
- Real-world experiences can vary by vehicle condition, maintenance history, mileage, and driving conditions. Absence of recalls in this dataset does not guarantee the absence of problems in all vehicles within this model year range.
- TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) and non-recall safety advisories are not included in the data provided here. A dealer can tell you if there are any relevant TSBs for your specific vehicle.
How to stay updated
- Regular maintenance visits: keep a detailed service log with dates, mileages, and work performed.
- Monitor for safety and performance symptoms and seek prompt diagnosis if you notice anything unusual.
- Periodically check for recalls and service bulletins through official channels and discuss any findings with your dealer.
Bottom line
- Official recall history: No recalls found in NHTSA database
- Owner complaint history: No NHTSA complaints found for this make/model/year/issue combination
- For owners, the absence of recalls does not remove the need for routine maintenance and proactive care. Use the above maintenance cost estimates as a reference for budgeting 2025 upkeep and budget for routine service to keep the Accord performing reliably. If you plan to purchase a used 2018–2023 Accord, still verify current status with the dealer and review the vehicle’s maintenance history to ensure it has been well cared for.
