Honda recall: When using the tire repair kit, pressure may build within the sealant bottle

Recall published 5 months ago

When using the tire repair kit, pressure may build within the sealant bottle, causing the bottle cap to detach.

The hazard: Tyre or wheel defect

The campaign concerns a wheel or tyre that may fail in service, which is why checking the code on the sidewall is the first job.

What the notice says: A detached bottle cap can become a projectile and strike the user or others nearby, increasing the risk of injury.

Why it matters: A tyre or wheel may fail in service. A sudden tread separation or wheel failure at speed is difficult for any driver to control, whatever their experience.

What to do about Tyres

Honda — The campaign concerns a wheel or tyre that may fail in service, which is why checking the code on the sidewall is the first job.

  1. Check the DOT code on the tyre sidewall or the part number on the wheel against the identifiers listed in the notice.
  2. Keep the repair order the dealer hands you. It is your proof the campaign was closed out, and it matters at resale.
  3. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you do anything else. A campaign covers a build range, not every car of that model year, and the VIN lookup is the only thing that confirms yours is included.
  4. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If you get nowhere, file at nhtsa.gov. Complaints tied to an open campaign number carry weight.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will replace the tire repair kit nozzle or sealant bottle, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed July 27, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated in Fall 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-866-784-1870. Honda's number for this recall is DOV. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 11, 2026.
