Known issues on the 2016 Accord. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the 3.5L V6 fuel pump, where particulates in the fuel can adhere to internal pump components and reduce performance, which can result in an engine stall and increase the risk of a crash. A separate recall covers the fuel pump inside the fuel tank failing, which can cause an engine stall while driving and increase the risk of a crash. A third covers the battery sensor case allowing water intrusion, which can cause an electrical short and increase the risk of a fire. The fourth covers the front passenger seat weight sensor, which may crack and short circuit and cause the air bags to deploy unintentionally during a crash. Owners have filed 596 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a stall back to the fuel pump to inspecting the battery sensor or the passenger seat weight sensor, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Accord.
