Honda Accord Hybrid can lose drive power while driving

NHTSA campaign 25V785000 · Reported 2025-11-13 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

high How serious is it? About this label

Losing power in traffic without warning can cause a crash or injury, so while Honda has not told owners to park the car, this one should not sit on your to-do list.

What's wrong, in plain English

A software mistake in one of the computers that manages your hybrid system can make it reset itself while you are driving. When that happens, the car can suddenly stop sending power to the wheels, so you lose the ability to accelerate. This can happen with no warning while the vehicle is moving. Honda has a corrected version of the software, and a dealer will load it into your car at no cost to you.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Accord Hybrid is affected.
2. Call your Honda dealer, or Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 (recall TN2), and book the software reprogramming.
3. Have the dealer reprogram the control module software — the repair is free.
