What's wrong?
The vehicle stability assist, or VSA, modulator on the 2022-2023 Honda Accord, Integra, Rdx, and Civic is part of the brake control system. It helps manage brake pressure for stability assist, antilock braking, traction control, and the brake hold feature that keeps the vehicle stopped after the driver releases the brake pedal.
In affected vehicles, a ball valve inside the VSA modulator does not seal fully. During assembly, the valve ball was damaged after a foreign object became stuck in the tool that seals the valve. That damaged valve lets brake fluid leak inside the modulator, which reduces the system's ability to hold pressure. The result is unintended vehicle movement when brake hold is engaged or a longer-than-expected brake pedal stroke.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the brake hold feature not keeping the vehicle stopped, or the brake pedal traveling farther than expected.
