Honda CL9.I Accord Euro (2003-05)

Overview

Released in June 2003, the Honda CL9 Accord Euro was a mid-size sedan. Manufactured in Sayama, Japan, the front-wheel drive CL9 Accord Euro was powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that was mated to either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The Accord Euro was available in unnamed, entry-level and ‘Luxury’ variants.

K24A3 engine

The 2.4-litre K24A3 four-cylinder engine had double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 10.5:1. The engine also featured Honda’s i-VTEC (intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system which consisted of:

2009 model year Honda CU2 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #1

In May 2015, a recall was issued for 2009 model year Honda CU2 Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, propellant wafers in the passenger’s front airbag inflator could absorb moisture over time. This ‘moisture intrusion’ made the inflator assembly susceptible to rupture during airbag deployment, creating a risk that metallic fragments could be projected through the cabin – these posed a risk of serious injury and fatality for vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda Accord Euro vehicles, please see PRA 2015/14703.

2009-11 model year Honda CU2 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #2

In July 2016, a recall was issued for 2009 to 2011 model year Honda Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, propellant wafers in the airbag inflators could absorb moisture over time and cause overly aggressive combustion if the airbag was deployed. This, in turn, would create excessive internal pressure that could cause the airbag inflator housing to rupture and scatter metal fragments through the airbag cushion material; these scattered fragments could cause serious and potentially fatal injuries to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda Accord Euro vehicles, please seePRA 2016/15496.

2012 model year Honda CU2 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #3

In January 2017, a recall was issued for 2012 model year Honda CU2 Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, propellant wafers within the front passenger airbag were susceptible to moisture intrusion over time. In the event of an airbag deployment, this could cause overly aggressive combustion of the airbag such that the airbag inflator housing could rupture. If this occurred, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material and scatter throughout the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda CU2 Accord Euro vehicles, please seePRA 2017/15856.

2013 model year Honda Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #4

In January 2018, a recall was issued for 2013 model year Honda Accord Euro vehicles. Over time, propellant wafers in the passenger airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, the airbag inflator housing could therefore rupture and cause metal fragments to be dispersed throughout the cabin – these fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16523.

2013-16 Honda Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #5

In October 2018, recall campaign 6CD was issued for Honda Accord Euro vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from August 2013 to May 2016. In these vehicles, the front passenger airbag contained propellant wafers that could absorb moisture over time. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive internal pressure could cause the metal inflator housing to rupture or explode such that metallic fragments would be projected through the airbag and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metallic fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17079.

2003-04 Honda CL9 Accord Euro: rear lamps may stop working

In September 2004, a recall was issued for 2003 and 2004 Honda Accord Euro vehicles due to a potentially damaged trunk harness which could cause an open circuit and either the license plate lamp, reversing lamp or tail lamps to stop working (PRA 2004/7214).

2005-06 Honda CL9 Accord Euro: engine may stall and not restart

In March 2007, a recall was issued for 2005 and 2006 Honda Accord Euro models due to potential contamination of the fuel pump relay coil which could fatigue and burnout due to repeated flexion by heat expansion and shrinkage. This could cause the engine to stall and not restart (PRA 2007/9129).

Honda CL9 Accord Euro: loss of power steering assistance

In March 2011, a recall was issued for Honda CL9 Accord Euro vehicles due to high under-bonnet temperatures potentially causing the power steering hose to deteriorate prematurely, crack and leak power steering fluid. If the fluid leaked onto a hot exhaust, this could generate smoking, a burning smell and a possible under-bonnet fire (PRA 2011/12441). The recalled vehicles were in the following VIN ranges:

  • 2003 models: JHMCL9XXXXX200047 to JHMCL9XXXXX217527;
  • 2004 models: JHMCL9XXXXX200001 to JHMCL9XXXXX221832;

2003 Honda CL9 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #1

In June 2014, a recall was issued for 2003 model year Honda Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, propellant wafers inside the inflator of the passenger airbag could accumulate moisture over time. In the event of an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator housing could therefore rupture and cause metal fragments to be projected throughout the cabin – this posed a risk of serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda Accord vehicles, please see PRA 2013/13549.

2003-04 Honda CL9 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #2

In December 2014, a recall was issued for 2003-04 Honda CL9 Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, the front passenger side airbag inflator may have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. In the event of a crash, the inflator container may rupture and cause abnormal deployment of the front passenger airbag, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda CL9 Accord EUro vehicles, please seePRA 2014/14498.

2004-08 model year Honda CL9 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #3

In May 2015, a recall was issued for 2004 to 2008 ‘model year’ Honda CL9 Accord Euro vehicles and this recall was updated with new information in September 2017. In these vehicles, propellant wafers in the passenger’s front airbag inflator could absorb moisture over time. This ‘moisture intrusion’ made the inflator assembly susceptible to rupture during airbag deployment, creating a risk that metallic fragments could be projected through the cabin – these posed a risk of serious injury and fatality for vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled Honda Accord Euro vehicles, please seePRA 2015/14703.

2003-09 model year Honda CL9 Accord Euro: Takata airbag recall #4

In July 2019, recall campaign 6CE was issued for 2003-09 model year Honda CL9 Accord Euro vehicles. These vehicles had Takata front passenger airbags and propellant wafers inside these airbags could absorb moisture over time. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive pressure in the airbag inflator housing could cause it to rupture and metal fragments could be projected through the airbag cushion and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17658.

Problems and faults: Honda CL9 Accord Euro

  • The Accord Euro’s brake pedal may feel spongy or have excessive travel due to air in the brake lines – this requires the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) modulator to be replaced.
  • The steering wheel may vibrate when the brakes are applied due to the brake pads causing uneven wear of the brake discs.
  • Clunking noises from the rear axle, particularly when driving rough roads, may be due to the rear stabiliser bar links breaking; stronger links and revised stabiliser bars were subsequently available.
  • The ‘check engine’ light may illuminate and record a trouble code for the coolant sensor, though a software error in the engine control module is more likely.
  • The ‘low tyre pressure’ warning light may illuminate despite all tyres being properly inflated – this is due to faulty sensors in the wheels.
  • Squeaking noises may come from the windows due to poorly fitted weather strips.
  • A failed gasket may cause moisture to collect in the headlights.
