Has There Been a Recall for Tenth-Generation Accord Rear Tire Wear?
4 Answers
No recall has been issued yet. The causes of tire wear are generally likely to be deformation of suspension system tie rods, loose ball joints, or damaged rubber bushings. It is recommended to regularly inspect the vehicle chassis, ensure proper torque for chassis bolts, and promptly replace any damaged ball joints or rubber bushings. Below is more relevant information: Rear tire wear: One reason for rear tire wear is related to aging tires beyond their service life, followed by wheel rim deformation or excessive wheel bearing clearance. Other causes include loose suspension and bracket components, shock absorber issues, or incorrect four-wheel alignment data. Four-wheel alignment: The purpose of four-wheel alignment is to prevent vehicle deviation. Theoretically, four-wheel alignment should be performed approximately every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. If you frequently drive long distances or on mountainous roads, the interval may need to be shortened. However, if the vehicle shows signs of deviation, a four-wheel alignment should be performed regardless of mileage to ensure driving safety.
I've driven a 10th-generation Accord for several years, and tire wear issues are quite common, especially on the rear tires. Regarding recalls, Honda did recall some 10th-generation Accords in 2018, covering models from 2018 to 2020, due to potential corrosion or loosening of the rear upper suspension arms, which could lead to uneven tire wear. My car didn't receive a notification, but I heard from a friend that his was recalled and repaired for suspension issues. Tire wear isn't solely caused by recalls; factors like incorrect wheel alignment or aging suspension can also contribute. If you notice tire wear, it's important to have the suspension system checked at a dealership promptly. Delaying can shorten tire lifespan and may increase noise and fuel consumption. Regular maintenance to monitor suspension health can save you a lot of money and hassle.
Having repaired cars for over a decade, the issue of abnormal tire wear on the rear wheels of 10th-generation Accords is quite common, usually related to suspension defects. Honda recalled certain models in 2018 primarily to address the rear suspension upper arms, preventing loosening and indirectly causing tire wear. In actual repair scenarios, if abnormal tire wear is observed, I would first inspect suspension component wear, wheel alignment data, or excessive tire pressure. If no recall applies, the issue might stem from driving habits, such as frequently driving over rough roads. Timely repairs can prevent the risk of tire blowouts, and the repair cost is relatively low—much more economical than replacing new tires. Safety is paramount, so I recommend regular inspections at a service center.
I'm very concerned about driving safety. If the 10th-generation Accord has rear tire wear issues, the first step is to check if it's related to a recall. In 2018, Honda issued a recall involving suspension systems that could cause abnormal tire wear. Worn tires have poor grip, especially in rainy conditions, making it very dangerous. The solution is to contact Honda customer service or visit their official website to check recall status. If not covered, it's recommended to inspect tire tread depth and suspension component looseness. Early detection and treatment are crucial for safety. Remember to regularly check tire conditions while driving to avoid long-term hazards.
