Just had my car use the tsb so the starter replaced and torque converter moved one bolt. Hopefully this does permanently fix the issue.
Best Starter motor for Honda Accord
I had the same issue with my 2016 V6 Touring. I followed the instructions on the TSB, replaced the starter with a Duralast Gold starter from Autozone ($400), & replaced the alternator (OEM) at the dealership. No issues at all. It has been over a year and a half.
I replaced on my 2016 with a brand new Bosch. In 2019. Still going strong
Going to an OEM solved my grinding starter issue immediately, and it’s been 3+ years.
I got a refund and bought an OEM. Still working great 25k miles later.
ESPECIALLY with a Honda, go Denso. I had an experience with a failed starter (would only intermittently grab the flywheel) on an '07 Accord where the starter is behind the exhaust manifold. Had a shop replace (they used a Carquest reman) and the issue returned so they replaced again. Off the engine they both tested fine and in spec. Shop refunded the repair as long as I returned the 'faulty' starter so I decided to try but use a reman OEM Denso and it fully worked and has been working flawlessly for years now. It costs a bit more, but worth it - On a Honda at least.
If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.
My original starter lasted 9 years / 215k miles on the dot. I ended up finding a brand new OEM Honda starter on eBay for $238 shipped.
I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.
Just a word of warning, those accords with the K24 do not like aftermarket starters. We've installed a few aftermarket starters and they come back with long cranks, and the Honda, for some reason, will cause an engine light for the long/slow crank. The aftermarket ones just don't have the same jam as the OE ones.
