Recalls that may affect cars built around 2000

2 of the Honda Accord’s 16 recalls in DVSA’s records cover cars built during 2000. 2 have no build dates, so could apply to any year.

The 2000 on this page is the year of first registration, not the year the car was built. A car first registered early in 2000 may have been built in 1999, and recalls apply to particular build dates and VINs, so check the recalls either side too.

Honda Accord recalls whose build dates include 2000
Launched Concern Built Vehicles
29 Aug 2019 Possible air bag inflator rupture 17 Nov 2000 to 16 Dec 2014 122,397 (all models)
29 May 2019 Inner pressure of the inflator may irregularly rise upon airbag deployment rupturing the inflator container 10 Jul 2000 to 25 Jul 2007 9 (all models)

  • MOT figures cover normal tests in Great Britain in 2025 of Honda Accord cars first registered in 2000; retests are excluded. “All cars” means every car we match to a model, first registered in 2000.
  • Year of first registration is DVSA’s first-use date: when the car was first registered, in the UK or abroad.
  • Defects and advisories are DVSA’s descriptions made readable. Where on the car a defect was found (side, front or rear) is ignored, so the same fault on any wheel counts once per test.
  • Mileage is the odometer reading at each car’s latest normal MOT of the year, as recorded by the tester. A few readings are in kilometres or mistyped; percentiles are not thrown by a handful of outliers.
  • Cars on the record come from DfT table VEH0124 and cover the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland; MOT figures cover Great Britain only.
  • DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
