Infotainment on other Accord years

Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2020, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.

What this problem usually is

Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.

What got replaced

Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the head unit or screen (24 reports), the camera (8 reports) and the software (3 reports).

Recalls and investigations

One recall on the electrical system covers the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

The case for the battery sensor, part of the battery management system, may allow water to get in, potentially causing an electrical short.

Is this a known problem?

The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 1 service bulletin or notice for the 2015 Honda Accord that deal with this problem. Newest first.

Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

What owners wrote

“Backup camera doesn’t work anymore it gives me a black screen. I’ve seen multiple people with this problem on the same car this a safety hazard because of the camera not allowing me to see what’s behind me. Car is also fairly new with 45000 miles.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 37 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
