HONDA ACCORD DIESEL ( 24/03/2008 – 20/01/2011) DEFECT: Due to an inappropriate software setting of the Engine Control Unit the oil level in the engine may increase due to fuel dilution during the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration. If the oil level increases too much it may prevent the engine from decelerating as intended the engine may continue to run even if the ignition is switched off. This may result in engine failure. The driver will not have any warning of this failure.
Remedy
The dealer will rewrite the engine software and replace the engine oil and engine filter.
