2000 HONDA ACCORD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2000 Honda Accord has 7 recalls, the most serious being a rear suspension arm that can break and cause sudden loss of vehicle control. The broken suspension arm causes extreme changes in rear wheel alignment mid-drive, making the car difficult or impossible to steer. There is also a frontal airbag concern: a component inside the passenger-side airbag inflator may not be properly welded, which can cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash, raising the injury risk for the front passenger. On the seatbelt side, rear seat belt buckles have a faulty lock bar that can make the buckle difficult or impossible to release after a crash; the belt itself will still hold in a collision, but freeing an occupant afterward may be a problem. Rounding out the list, the dimmer control for the instrument panel lights can overheat and fail, leaving the driver without a readable speedometer or gauges at night.
