Buying a used 2018 Honda Accord? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 1,872 owner complaints on file

The redesign year, and the record is large: 1,872 unverified owner complaints filed with NHTSA, including 35 crashes, four fires and 39 injuries. Engine leads by a wide margin (550), then forward collision avoidance, fuel/propulsion and electrical. Six recalls cover fuel pump failure and stalling in two campaigns, front seat belts that may not latch, a seat sensor airbag risk, a backup camera display failure, and a software glitch disabling safety systems.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify both fuel pump recalls were completed and ask about any stalling history
3. Test the backup camera display and the collision-warning system on a test drive
4. Check seat belt latching and confirm the safety-system software update was installed
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
