Honda CR-V and Accord Hybrid tire kit cap flies off

NHTSA campaign 26V366000 · Reported 2026-06-04 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

medium How serious is it? About this label

The danger is an injury to whoever is using the tire repair kit, not a problem with how the car drives, and the notice places no restriction on driving the vehicle.

What's wrong, in plain English

These hybrids come with a tire repair kit instead of a spare tire. Inside the kit is a bottle of sealant you squeeze into a flat tire. Pressure can build up inside that bottle while you use it, and the cap can pop off. A cap flying off under pressure can hit you or anyone standing nearby and cause an injury. Honda has already mailed a warning letter, and the parts needed for the final repair are expected in fall 2026.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is covered. 2. Call your Honda dealer or Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870 about recall DOV and ask when the final parts are available. 3. Have the nozzle or sealant bottle replaced free of charge once the remedy is ready.
