Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Accord sits at the mature tail end of its generation's complaint arc, which began with a significant spike in 2018 (1,799 complaints, 6 recalls) and has declined steadily each subsequent year. By 2021, complaints had fallen to 214, and 2022 essentially holds flat at 213 with 4 recalls and just 1 investigation — suggesting that the major teething issues of the generation's launch have been largely resolved. Notably, TSBs dropped sharply from 245 in 2020 to 134 in 2021 and then to just 59 in 2022, indicating Honda's service engineering has addressed most known repair procedures. The top complaint areas — Electrical System (32), Unknown/Other (31), and Forward Collision Avoidance (27) — point to intermittent electronic and driver-assist system concerns rather than catastrophic mechanical failures, which is consistent with zero fire complaints and only 5 crash-related complaints. The data does not specify root causes for these issues. With complaint volume stable at generational lows and a shrinking technical service bulletin footprint, the 2022 Accord represents a well-sorted late-generation example and is a solid year to buy.
