A previous recall repair is worth recording, but it is not a reason to ignore a new notice. Honda's U.S. campaign 26V663000, manufacturer code PPW, concerns tire-repair-kit nozzles connected with the earlier 26V366 campaign.
Honda says old, pre-countermeasure parts were mixed with replacement parts in the supplier's warehouse and incorrectly shipped. Some affected vehicles therefore received tire repair kits with the earlier nozzle design. Check the VIN rather than assuming that either a previous repair or a matching model year settles eligibility.
Which vehicles are listed?
| Model | Model years in this campaign |
|---|---|
| Honda Accord Hybrid | 2023–2026 |
| Honda CR-V Hybrid | 2023–2026 |
| Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV | 2025 |
The official filing lists 4,804 potentially affected U.S. vehicles. This is a defined recall population, not a statement that every vehicle in those model-year ranges needs the new repair.
Why the nozzle matters
The affected nozzle contains a one-way valve. Honda's filing explains that if the nozzle is improperly connected to the tire valve, pressure may build inside the sealant bottle. If the relief valve does not release that pressure as designed, the bottle cap could detach and cause injury.
NHTSA describes the remedy as inspecting and replacing the tire-repair-kit nozzle as necessary. Honda's dealer bulletin says technicians inspect the sealant bottle hose and replace the bottle when the older part is found. The corrected design does not have the one-way valve described in the recall. This is not an instruction to inspect, remove a valve, modify the kit or test its pressure yourself.
What to ask Honda
For the earlier recall 26V366, Honda instructed owners not to use affected tire repair kits until repaired and to contact Honda Roadside Assistance at 866-864-5211 if they have a flat before repair. The follow-up 26V663 concerns some kits that may have received the old parts during that earlier repair. Confirm with Honda which instructions apply to your VIN and current kit; do not assume the earlier repair resolved the follow-up.
Have the VIN and any invoice from the earlier campaign available. Ask the dealer to check PPW / 26V663000, explain whether the kit currently in the car needs inspection, and confirm the available remedy and appointment arrangements. Also ask what equipment or assistance Honda recommends if you have a puncture before the affected kit is addressed.
The Part 573 filing scheduled dealer notification for October 9, 2026, and owner letters for November 16, 2026. A scheduled letter date is not proof that a letter has been sent or that a specific vehicle has been repaired.
Use the official NHTSA VIN check and our guide to checking car recalls by VIN. A general model search and a vehicle's actual open-recall result serve different purposes.
