Known issues on the 2009 Accord. Eleven recalls are on federal record for this model year. The bulk of them cover the driver and passenger frontal air bag inflator modules, where propellant degradation or an incorrectly installed replacement inflator can cause the inflator to explode or deploy improperly, sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants in a crash. A separate recall covers the air bag control unit, which can corrode and fail so the air bags may not deploy in a crash. Another covers the automatic transmission's secondary shaft bearing: a broken outer race can short-circuit the control module and stall the engine, or lodge debris in the parking pawl and let the car roll after the driver has shifted into Park. A final recall covers an aftermarket full nose mask sold for this model that can interfere with the secondary hood latch and let the hood pop open while driving, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 722 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a Takata inflator replacement to a transmission bearing inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Accord.
