Owner Notification Letter - Our records indicate that a PRODUCT UPDATE has not been completed on this vehicle (Vehicle Identification Number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX). On your 2017 Accord Hybrid, the brake tandem motor cylinder may only operate in failsafe mode if saltwater (in areas where road salt is used) enters the brake tandem motor cylinder and corrodes its metal components. The saltwater is able to enter the motor due to small gaps in the motor cover that result from issues in the manufacturing process.
