What was reported

Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573
Problem Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2026 CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, and 2025-2026 CR-V Fuel Cell EV vehicles. When using the tire repair kit, pressure may build within the sealant bottle, causing the bottle cap to detach. Risk A detached bottle cap can become a projectile and strike the user or others nearby, increasing the risk of injury. Fix Dealers will replace the tire repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed July 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in Fall 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is DOV. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 11, 2026.

Reported to NHTSA Jun 4, 2026 by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.).

What that means, in plain English

Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wording

A detaching bottle cap from a tire repair kit can injure a nearby user but does not affect vehicle control, braking, or occupant protection during a crash, and the risk occurs during roadside repair use rather than while driving.

Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.

The fix, from the dealer bulletin

Source: NHTSA remedy instructions and dealer notice
Stop-sale Yes: the bulletin says the vehicle may not be sold or delivered until repaired
Remedy Available: will be limited at launch, and additional allocations will be distributed over t

The remedy, in the manufacturer’s words: Replace the sealant hose valve or the tire sealant bottle.

The advisory, as filed: “Next Unread Message View Message DATE: June 5, 2026 TO: All Honda Sales, Service & Parts Managers, and Personnel FROM: Erik Blank, Manager of Auto Campaigns and Recalls Re: Stop Sale/Safety Recall: 2023-26 Multi-Model Tire Repair Kit.”

Read from NHTSA’s copy of the manufacturer’s dealer documents (manufacturer campaign DOV). The procedure itself is in the bulletin; a franchised dealer has the current copy on the manufacturer’s portal, and that copy governs. Working a lot or a fleet? Recall Watch carries this line on every VIN it checks: remedy status, hours, stop-sale.

Which vehicles are covered

A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. Type the VIN and the WhichTrim recall report checks this campaign’s build window and engine against it.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is DOV the same recall as 26V366000?

Yes. DOV is the number Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 26V366000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.

Does this recall repair cost anything?

No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.

How do I know whether my vehicle is included?

By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Sep 8, 2022 to Jun 2, 2026. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.

What if the repair is not available yet?

It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. This campaign was filed without a repair available — Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) says so in the text above, and expected one by Fall 2026.

What did the manufacturer say was wrong?

The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.

Who started this recall?

NHTSA's record credits the manufacturer. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
