Recall 15-017 L4 Accords.

Check Recall 15-017 for 14-15 Accords. It involves some connecting rods not properly torqued from the factory. Will cause loss of power , rattle, knocks and leak oil. Check with your local Honda dealer if your vehicle VIN is affected.

TSB# A13-053(6jun2014)

2014 EX-L

was experiencing the slow deceleration and acceleration judder before replacing the valve body at the dealer. Now its much smoother. I would recommend the valve body replacement if you feel any surge, hesitation, or judder as the vehicle
accelerates from a stop.

Here's a link back to the TSB so you don't have to dig back in time to post 301.
