This guide covers the Honda Accord from model year 1998: 6 generations, 9 trims, 8 engines and 8 documented common issues, each with its sources. Transport Canada lists 52 recalls for it since the 2000 model year, the latest issued in June 2026 (list read ). NRCan rates the 2025 Accord at 5.3–7.3 L/100 km combined.

Overview

The Accord is Honda’s mid-size sedan, sold in Canada since 1976 when it arrived as a small three-door hatchback. It was the first car Honda built in Canada, at Alliston, Ontario, in 1986; recent generations come from Honda’s US plants. Today it is a sedan only, with a 1.5 L turbo in the entry SE and a two-motor hybrid in the Sport-L and Touring, which make up about three-quarters of Canadian Accord sales. It appeals to drivers who want more room and refinement than a Civic without moving to an SUV. It is front-wheel drive only. For used buyers in Alberta, the main things to check are the Takata airbag recalls on 2001–2012 cars, transmission problems on early-2000s models and salt-related recalls such as corroding axle shafts on 2013–2015 cars.

Generations

Newest first. Years are model years; “on” means the generation is still in production.

  1. Eleventh generation (CY)

    2023 on

    Longer body, a 12.3-inch screen on hybrid trims and Google built-in on the Touring. The 2.0 L turbo was dropped, leaving the 1.5 L turbo and the two-motor hybrid, and Honda announced that production would move to Greensburg, Indiana.[1][7]

  2. Tenth generation (CV)

    2018–2022

    A sedan-only redesign that replaced the V6 with 1.5 L and 2.0 L turbo engines, alongside a two-motor hybrid. The 2021 facelift introduced the SE trim in Canada and dropped the manual transmission.[1][12][14]

  3. Ninth generation (CR/CT)

    2013–2017

    Went on sale in Canada in September 2012 with a direct-injected 2.4 L and Honda’s first CVT in an Accord, plus Sport and Touring trims. A 3.5 L V6 remained in the upper trims and coupe.[5][11]

  4. Eighth generation (CP/CS)

    2008–2012

    Grew large enough to count as a full-size car by EPA interior volume. The 3.5 L V6 gained cylinder deactivation, and the coupe was built only in Marysville. Facelifted for 2011.[1][4]

  5. Seventh generation (CM)

    2003–2007

    Built in Marysville, Ohio, and from 2005 also in East Liberty. The new K-series four-cylinder replaced the old F-series, a V6 Hybrid joined for 2005, and Canada had its own trims such as DX-G, SE and EX-L V6.[3]

  6. Sixth generation (CG/CF)

    1998–2002

    Honda split the Accord into separate designs for each region, and North America got a larger sedan and coupe with a 2.3 L four-cylinder or a 3.0 L V6. It was facelifted in September 2000.[2]

Common issues

Problems a source documents for this model, tagged by what kind of source it is. What each tag means:

Recall
A safety recall. Transport Canada’s list further down has the recall itself, and a dealer can tell you from your VIN whether it applies to your vehicle.
Documented
Documented by the sources cited, such as a manufacturer program, a court-approved settlement or a reputable publication.

  • Automatic transmission failures on sixth-generation cars

    Documented Model years 1998–2002

    V6 Accords in particular suffered automatic transmission failures that led to class actions. Honda extended coverage on 2000–2001 cars, and in Canada owners in certain VIN ranges received letters; those extensions have long expired, so check the transmission service history on any survivor.[2]

  • Takata airbag inflator recalls

    Recall Model years 2001–2012

    Frontal airbag inflators that can rupture in a crash were recalled on the driver side of 2001–2007 Accords and the passenger side of 2003–2012 Accords. An unrepaired car should go to a Honda dealer for the free replacement.[16][17][18][19][20]

  • Second-gear overheating in the automatic transmission

    Recall Model years 2003–2004

    Heat could build up between second gears in the automatic transmission, chipping teeth and, rarely, locking the transmission. Dealers modified the oil cooler return line and replaced transmissions that showed overheating.[21]

  • Power steering hose leaks

    Recall Model years 2003–2007

    On some Accords the power steering hose can crack from long heat exposure and leak fluid onto hot parts, with a risk of smoke or fire. Dealers replace the hose.[22]

  • Battery sensor corrosion from moisture and road salt

    Recall Model years 2013–2016

    The battery sensor case may let in moisture or road salt, corroding the sensor and risking a short circuit and fire. Dealers inspect and replace the sensor.[23]

  • Front axle shaft corrosion

    Recall Model years 2013–2015

    Damaged paint on the front axle shafts can let them rust and break, cutting drive to the wheels or letting a parked car roll. The recall was widened in 2025 to more 2013 cars.[24][25]

  • Body control module software faults

    Recall Model years 2018–2020

    A software problem can make the defroster, wipers, lights, turn signals, rear camera or power windows stop working, which matters in a Calgary winter. Dealers update the software.[26]

  • Low-pressure fuel pump failure

    Recall Model years 2018–2020

    The in-tank fuel pump can fail, so the engine runs rough, will not start or loses power while driving. Honda replaces the pump under recall.[27]

    ACCORD 2004–2005
    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. The seat position sensor (SPS) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the airbag inflation pressure accordingly in the event of a crash. This is primarily to lessen the inflation pressure for smaller statured drivers who usually sit closer to the steering wheel. In the affected vehicles, the SPS harness was incorrectly attached to the 8-way power seat frame. Over time, the sensor harness could break which would cause the airbag warning light to be illuminated, and the SPS to fail. A failure of the SPS causes the airbag deployment to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's airbag could increase the risk of injury for smaller statured drivers in a frontal crash.

Fuel economy and cost

Natural Resources Canada’s combined ratings (55% city, 45% highway driving) for the newest model years it has rated. NRCan rates every drivetrain, transmission and package separately, so each row gives the range across them. The yearly cost assumes 20,000 km a year, the distance NRCan’s own fuel consumption search tool assumes, at Statistics Canada’s average self-serve price in Calgary for August 2026: regular 162.3¢/L, premium 188.4¢/L, diesel 210.6¢/L. Each rating is costed at the fuel NRCan rated it on. How far and how you drive will move it.

Canada notes

  • The Accord was the first vehicle built at Honda of Canada Mfg. in Alliston when the plant opened in November 1986, and the first car from a Japanese automaker made in Canada. Alliston now builds the Civic and CR-V instead.[6]
  • More than 940,000 Accords have been sold in Canada since 1976, and hybrids made up almost 75% of Canadian Accord sales in 2025.[6][9]
  • Canadian Accords have often had their own trims and equipment: DX-G, SE and EX-L V6 in the seventh generation, and heated mirrors and daytime running lights that US cars only got for 2006.[3]
  • Recent Canadian Accords are front-wheel drive only, so winter tires are the main winter upgrade. The SE comes with heated front seats as standard.[8][14][15]
