The American Honda Motor Company has issued a recall of 256,603 Honda Accord hybrid electric passenger cars due to a potential software error that could cause a loss of power for drivers. The recall affects vehicles with production dates running from Nov. 11, 2022, to Oct. 24, 2025.

According to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a malfunction in the vehicles’ software programming could cause the integrated control module (ICM) central processing unit (CPU) to reset while the vehicle is in operation. This, in turn, could cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of an accident or injury.
