2015 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid has 2 recalls, both centering on the same issue: electrical interference can cause the hybrid system to drop into a fail-safe mode, cutting off the gasoline engine and capping vehicle speed, which raises the risk of a crash if it happens at highway speeds. When this fault occurs, the car shifts to battery-only power with a top speed of roughly 40 mph, which can create a sudden and significant speed mismatch with surrounding traffic. The root cause is a sensor in the high-voltage battery pack that misreads electrical noise and triggers the shutdown.

HIGH VOLTAGE

Defect

On certain vehicles, the Cell Voltage Sensor (CVS) could incorrectly interpret electrical noise, which could cause the vehicle to switch to a fail-safe Electric Vehicle (EV) mode. If this were to occur while driving at highway speed, the internal combustion engine would shut off and the vehicle would experience a sudden loss of power, and the maximum speed limited to about 60 km/h. In fail-safe EV mode, visual and audible warnings would be displayed, and the vehicle may be able to travel for up to three kilometers before the high voltage battery discharges. If the battery were to completely discharge while the vehicle is still in operation, the vehicle will stall, resulting in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will update the CVS software.
