2005 HONDA ACCORD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2005 Honda Accord has 9 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator that can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to the front passenger. Two additional airbag recalls affect the front passenger side: one covers vehicles where the passenger airbag may have been installed incorrectly during a prior replacement, causing it to deploy improperly in a crash, and another covers certain vehicles assembled with the wrong passenger airbag module that does not meet federal advanced airbag requirements. On the drivetrain side, a bearing in the automatic transmission can fail and create an internal short circuit that stalls the engine without warning. Several recalls address fuel delivery: a loose terminal in the main fuse box and a separate issue with the fuel pump relay can each cut power to the fuel pump, stalling the engine while driving. These fuel pump and relay issues have been filed across multiple records but describe the same class of problem. The steering system also has a concern specific to V6 models, where a power steering fluid line can leak onto the catalytic converter, producing smoke and potentially causing an engine compartment fire.
