NO MODERATE FINDINGS
Everything the protocol found, including what we decided not to repair. Each finding says what it is and what we did about it — nothing here is hidden behind “sold as seen”.
| Severity | Finding | Action taken |
|---|---|---|
| NOTE | Front tyres at 5 mm (7 mm new) | Within our threshold |
| NOTE | Infotainment software one revision behind | Updated by us |
Model watch list
What this generation is known for.
Every model has faults that show up again and again in the workshop and in the manufacturer’s own bulletins. These are the ones documented for this exact year, engine and transmission — listed whether or not this particular car shows them.
- In-tank fuel pump failure causing stall — NHTSA recall 23V858 (2013–2023 Accord)
- 2.0T cold-start misfire and rich condition, codes P0300–P0304 / P0172 — Honda service bulletin 23-026
- Turbocharger failure reported on 2021 Accord 2.0T (P0299)
- Infotainment phantom touches and Honda Sensing false automatic braking
Notes on the data
- Honda publishes no tow rating and no payload figure for the Accord; both fields are deliberately empty rather than estimated.
- Peak torque is a plateau: 273 lb-ft from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.
