Buying a used 2020 Honda Accord? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 356 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Honda Accord has 5 recalls in this group, covering software that may disable key systems, fuel pump failure, a cracking passenger seat sensor, and unintended front passenger airbag deployment. Its 356 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports; leading areas are forward collision avoidance with 101, engine with 70, service brakes with 55, and electrical system with 51. The software and passenger restraint issues deserve specific repair documentation alongside fuel pump recall completion records.

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 completion of applicable software and fuel pump recalls by VIN.
3. Request passenger seat sensor and front passenger airbag recall repair records.
4. Ask about collision avoidance warnings, brake problems, and engine or electrical faults.
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.
