What's wrong?
The tire repair kit in affected 2023-2026 Honda Accord Hybrid, Cr-V Hybrid, and Cr-V Fuel Cell EV vehicles uses a sealant bottle as part of the temporary tire repair process. When the kit is connected and used, sealant is supposed to move from the bottle into the damaged tire so the tire can hold air long enough for service.
On these vehicles, pressure can build inside the sealant bottle while the kit is being used. The cap is not supposed to separate under that pressure, but in this recall it can detach from the bottle. That leaves the kit unable to work as designed and exposes the user to a sudden cap release during the repair.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up only when the tire repair kit is in use, so an owner will not notice it during normal driving.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A detached sealant bottle cap can become a projectile and strike the person using the tire repair kit or others nearby, increasing injury risk. Keep people clear of the kit during use and contact a Honda dealer for recall guidance. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2026 Honda Accord Hybrid, Cr-V Hybrid, or Cr-V Fuel Cell EV is included in this recall.
- Wait for Honda's interim owner letter expected July 27, 2026; additional letters will follow when the final repair opens.
- Avoid using the tire repair kit until Honda gives interim guidance or the repair is complete; pressure in the sealant bottle can eject the cap and injure people nearby.
- Ask a franchised Honda dealer about the free tire repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle replacement once the final remedy opens; the repair prevents pressure in the sealant bottle from ejecting the cap.
- Call Honda customer service at 1-866-784-1870 with questions, and reference recall number 26V366.
What happens at the repair
Honda has not opened the final dealer repair yet. Once it opens, a Honda technician will replace the tire repair kit nozzle or the sealant bottle, free of charge. The parts and labor will be covered under recall 26V366. Until then, Honda says interim owner letters will describe the safety risk, and additional letters will follow when the final remedy is available. If your VIN is included, ask the dealer to note the recall and contact you when repair parts and instructions are ready.
