Weird... nothing about it on NHTSA site and they're usually posted there before any notices go out. No recalls listed for 2003 Honda Accord... did have the following recall for the 2002...

Make : HONDA Model : ACCORD Year : 2002
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 02V226000 Recall Date : AUG 21, 2002
Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 17551

Is it a recall of all '03's? Asking since I'm taking mine in tomorrow for a service and will be sure to ask 'em about it. Thanks for the heads up.

My friend with a 03 Accord told me it isn't a recall but a "update".

Wouldn't that be just for the japanese accord? Their accord is not the same car....

I think Japan's (& Korea's) Accord is the same car that is sold in USA as the Acura TSX...

CL7, CL8, & CL9 in the VIN should say it all. My '03 Accord is CM5.

i don't think this applies to USDM accords, only TSXs since the recall is on the japanese accord.
