Key takeaways
- If attached incorrectly, the tire repair inflator can build pressure in the sealant bottle until it bursts.
- But what used to be a wrestling match with a spare on the shoulder is now, in many SUVs and sedans, a simple battle with a tire repair kit and an inflator.
- If you own a 2023–2026 CR-V Hybrid, a 2025–2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV, or a 2023–2026 Accord Hybrid, your tire inflator kit is under recall.
Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.

Flat tires suck. That hardly needs saying. But what used to be a wrestling match with a spare on the shoulder is now, in many SUVs and sedans, a simple battle with a tire repair kit and an inflator. That is supposed to make a bad situation easier, not add another hazard when traffic is blasting past at highway speeds. Unfortunately, more than 1 million Honda vehicles have inflator-kit issues that have caused them to be recalled.
If you own a 2023–2026 CR-V Hybrid, a 2025–2026 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV, or a 2023–2026 Accord Hybrid, your tire inflator kit is under recall. Honda says the nozzle that attaches to the valve stem can be installed incorrectly during roadside repair, which may cause pressure to build inside the tire sealant bottle.
