Summaries are quoted verbatim from NHTSA's official campaign records. A single campaign often covers dozens of model years and several nameplates, so a summary may name vehicles other than the 2014 Accord — that is normal. Every record listed here carries this vehicle's own make, model and model year in NHTSA's database. Whether a recall is still open on a particular car can only be determined by VIN.

1. What component or system failed? The ABS/VSA Modulator Control Unit (also known as the ABS pump or module). This system is responsible for Anti-lock Braking and Vehicle Stability Assist. 2. How was safety put at risk? The failure often results in the complete loss of Anti-lock Braking (ABS) and Stability Control (VSA). Increased Stopping Distance: In emergency braking situations, the wheels can lock up, leading to skidding and significantly longer distances to stop. Loss of Steering Control: Without VSA, the vehicle is prone to "plowing" (understeer) or spinning out (oversteer) durin

I own a 2014 Honda Accord with the 2.4L engine, which has a well-documented oil consumption defect. Recently, I discovered that my engine was nearly dry and required approximately 60 ounces of oil just to bring the dipstick reading to the midpoint between the “low” and “full” marks. The car had been idling roughly at cold start, and the check engine light flickered briefly, which I now understand was due to oil starvation. This condition creates a serious safety hazard because sudden oil loss can lead to engine misfires, stalling, loss of power while driving, and potential damage to the cataly
