Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words

Filed Oct 19, 2026

Incorrect tire inflation data on vehicle information label on door sill for my particular vehicle model (Accord Hybrid Sport. Emphasis on Sport which low profile tires). From reading the Owner's Manual, I was made aware that there maybe some clarification need for the tire pressure value for my vehicle model. It was confirmed, via telephone, with Honda HQ that indeed the door sill label is incorrect. As the result, Honda HQ denied my request to have the miss-labeled item replaced. Their recommendation is to approach the dealership that sold me the vehicle first. Which dealership, also, refused to honor. I have the following concerns. (1) I look at it as a violation of the warranty agreements. The label on my vehicle is clearly defective and needs a corrective action. (2) it is a safety issue! A few years back, Firestone tires were blowing out on Ford Explorers and initially Firestone blamed it on operator errors which was proven to be false. Firestone was talking couple, maybe 3, pounds of pressure differentiations. (3) It is also safety concern in the long run. If my vehicle is being resold, without an Owner's Manual, how would the new owner knows what the correct tire pressure would be? (4) As part of that model's production, the door sill label should be readily available. All Honda/Dealership have to do is order an replacement. Why is it sooo difficult to obtain a correct replacement??? Is it going to trigger a recall because is a factory oversight???
