This caused an immediate loss of power to the wheels, creating a hazardous driving situation and leaving the vehicle stranded.  Upon inspection, the drive shaft broke directly beneath the rubber dynamic damper (vibration damper). The area under the rubber ring shows heavy rust and corrosion. Furthermore, the unbroken drive shaft on the opposite side of the vehicle shows a heavily dry-rotted rubber dynamic damper ring, raising immediate concerns that it will fail next.  This failure matches the physical description of the defect found in NHTSA Recall Number 20V-769 (Manufacturer Recall Code OM2, corresponding to Honda Service Bulletin 20-125). Under that safety campaign, Honda states that moisture and road salt seep under the dynamic damper, causing hidden corrosion that ultimately breaks the axle.  However, Honda has restricted the scope of Recall 20V-769 exclusively to vehicles equipped with Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT). Because my vehicle has a 6-speed manual transmission, my VIN is excluded from coverage.  Despite having a different transmission, my vehicle was built with factory axles that suffered the exact same corrosion failure in the exact same location. The exclusion of manual transmission vehicles from this recall leaves drivers exposed to a known safety hazard. I request that the NHTSA review this failure on manual transmission models to determine if the recall population needs to be expanded.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"ACCORD","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
