Got a 2013 to 2016 Honda Accord? There's a decent shot it's simply been reviewed for a flawed battery sensor. Honda says the bum sensors aren't sufficiently fixed to dampness; water - or more terrible, salty water - can leak in, possibly causing a short, which can prompt fire. (Your koan for the day: Will a terrible sensor sense that it's ablaze?)
Taking all things together, the review hits approximately 1.15 million Accords.
As indicated by Honda:
"The 12-volt battery sensor is situated on the negative battery link inside the motor compartment, observing the battery's condition of charge so as to caution the driver to issues with the battery or the charging framework. The battery sensors introduced in influenced vehicles may not be adequately fixed against dampness interruption. After some time, dampness interruption may bring street salt or other electrically conductive substances inside the battery sensor, prompting erosion and inevitable electrical shorting of the sensor. A shorted sensor can warm up through electrical protection, conceivably bringing about smoke originating from in the engine or, in the most pessimistic scenario, a fire."
Honda says it will tell proprietors of influenced autos beginning in late July, and the repairs will occur in two waves: autos with flawed battery sensors will have theirs supplanted at the merchant, while the individuals who have useful sensors will get an impermanent fix (glue sealant on the sensor case) trailed by a full repair not far off. The automaker says it is adopting this specific two-advance strategy as a result of the sheer number of influenced autos. In any occasion, it's all at no cost to proprietors.
Try not to tarry on this one, particularly on the off chance that you live in an express that utilizations salt out and about amid the winter: There have been four motor flames identified with the sensors in the US up until now, every one of them allegedly in "salt belt" states. On the off chance that you would prefer not to sit tight for the letter from Honda
