What's wrong?
The engine wiring harness connector on the 2010 Honda Accord and Cr-V links parts of the engine electrical system. It carries the power and signals the ignition system needs so the engine can fire the spark at the right time. When that connection stays solid, the engine keeps running as expected.
On affected vehicles, the connector has a potential failure point. If the connection drops in and out, spark firing becomes intermittent. That interruption can make the engine run unevenly or stall, because the engine is no longer getting the steady electrical signal it needs to keep firing.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver will notice the problem only when the engine stumbles, loses steady operation, or stalls.
Who's affected?
The list is limited to two 2010 Honda nameplates, Accord and Cr-V, with the electrical system listed for both.

| Units affected | 2,277 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
An engine stall increases the risk of a crash because the vehicle loses power while moving. If the engine stalls, steer to a safe place, stop, and call a Honda dealer before driving again. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Honda Accord or Cr-V is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to ask whether the free ignition wiring harness connector inspection and replacement is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 11V004 when you call Honda or the dealer.
- Bring the Honda owner notice if you have it, or ask the dealer to look up the recall by VIN.
- Drive cautiously until the connector is inspected and repaired. Pull over safely if the engine stalls or runs unevenly.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the ignition wiring harness connector and replaces it if the inspection shows it is covered by the recall. Honda's filing said the safety recall was expected to begin on or before January 24, 2011. Because the remedy status is not listed as available in the filing, confirm repair availability before arranging service. Once the repair opens, the connector inspection and replacement are free under the recall, with parts and labor covered.
