2006 HONDA ACCORD Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 Honda Accord has 9 recalls, the most serious being a power steering fluid leak that can drip onto a hot catalytic converter and start an under-hood fire, along with a transmission bearing that can fail and cause the engine to stall. Several recalls center on the airbag system. The most dangerous involves the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, raising the risk of serious injury. This recall specifically affects vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions. On certain vehicles, the front impact sensor mounting bolts were not tightened properly during assembly, which can prevent the sensors from detecting a crash and delay or stop the airbags from deploying. A separate airbag concern involves passenger-side inflators that may have been installed incorrectly during a prior replacement, causing improper deployment in a crash. There is also a recall for an incorrect passenger frontal airbag module that does not meet advanced airbag requirements, which can raise the risk of injury or death. On the tire side, the bead area of certain tires may have been damaged during mounting, which can cause a sudden loss of air pressure while driving. The final recall covers incorrect contact information printed in the owner's manual.
