A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

I purchased a new 2023 Honda Accord from Woodland Hills Honda on 1/20/24. On 1/23/24, I pull into my garage after driving home from work and turn off the car. I get out to an overwhelming smell of gasoline. I inspect the car for visible leaks, which I don’t see, but the gasoline fumes kept growing and spreading throughout my garage.

2025 Honda Civic · Fuel/Propulsion System · filed with NHTSA Oct 22, 2026 · ODI 11773045
When car is idle and hybrid battery switches to gasoline engine the engine shakes violently and warning lamps and messages for engine and transmission error come on. It's becoming more of a problem and dealerships do not know how to correctly diagnosis it. I've taken my car to the dealership twice and still the problems occur.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Honda AEBM07242026902 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the AEBM07242026902 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Honda warranty extension on file lists the ones Honda has filed.
Which vehicles does AEBM07242026902 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 9 model years: 2025 Honda Accord, 2024 Honda Accord, 2023 Honda Accord, 2026 Honda CR-V, 2025 Honda CR-V, 2024 Honda CR-V and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
