Honda Re-Recalls 4,804 Accord and CR-V Vehicles: The Tire Kit Fix Itself Was Faulty

Honda is recalling 4,804 Accord and CR-V vehicles because a tire repair kit component can fail, according to NHTSA documents reported in October 2026. The campaign covers the 2025–2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV, the 2023–2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid and the 2023–2026 Honda Accord Hybrid. When using the tire repair kit, pressure may build within the sealant bottle, causing the bottle cap to detach — a failure that can injure someone using the kit and leave the vehicle without a usable flat-tire repair.

What makes this campaign notable is that it is a recall of a recall. The vehicles were previously remedied under an earlier NHTSA campaign, 26V366, for the same tire-kit issue — but documents indicate some vehicles repaired during the prior recall received yet another faulty part, because the supplier accidentally combined the initial faulty parts with the updated components designed to correct the problem. The new campaign carries NHTSA number 26V663 and Honda number PPW.

Dealers will inspect and replace the tire repair kit nozzle as necessary, free of charge, with owner notification letters expected to be mailed November 16, 2026. Owners of affected Accords and CR-Vs should check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls rather than assuming a prior repair closed the issue, and should avoid using the tire repair kit until the nozzle has been checked. The episode is a quality-control lesson: a recall remedy is only as good as the parts segregation behind it.
