Known issues on the 2003 Accord. Twenty-four recalls are on federal record for this model year, dominated by Takata front air bag inflators, both driver- and passenger-side units assembled as a recall remedy or replacement part, that can rupture after long-term exposure to humidity and temperature cycling and throw metal fragments at occupants. A separate ignition recall covers an interlock lever that can deform, letting the key be removed without an automatic transmission being shifted into Park and allowing the vehicle to roll away, while a power steering recall on V6 Accords addresses a hose that can deteriorate and leak fluid onto the catalytic converter, risking an under-hood fire. Also on record: a windshield wiper motor circuit breaker that can fail after water intrusion, an automatic transmission gear-tooth failure that can cause transmission lockup, an aftermarket accelerator pedal assembly that can bind and slow the engine's return to idle, and a run of aftermarket headlamp and lighting recalls for missing amber side reflectors that reduce visibility to other drivers. Owners have filed 2,013 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're tracing a wiper motor fault, inspecting a power steering hose on the V6, or working through a routine air bag service, it keeps you on Honda's own procedure and specification for your specific 2003 Accord.
