Honda is recalling 4,804 vehicles due to a potential safety issue with their tire repair kits. The recall affects 2,745 Honda CR-V Hybrids, 2,058 Accord Hybrids, and one 2025 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV. Dealers repaired them under an earlier recall, but the remedy may not have worked, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Honda announced the earlier recall in June. It involved around 1 million vehicles. A supplier shipped older tire repair parts along with updated replacement parts. As a result, some vehicles repaired under the original recall may have received the older parts. They now require another inspection.
The current recall involves a tire-repair-kit sealant bottle. Pressure may build inside the bottle during use. If the nozzle on the bottle is not properly connected to the tire valve, the pressure relief valve may not release pressure as intended. That could detach the bottle cap, making it a projectile that might hit someone and cause injury. Honda is not aware of any warranty claims or injuries related to the issue, according to the NHTSA filing.
Honda will have dealers inspect the tire repair kits and, if necessary, replace the sealant bottle. As with all recall repairs, the service is free. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on Nov. 16. Honda suggests that vehicles repaired under an earlier recall will need repairs, but only expects a small number to require replacement parts.
