One problem related to timing tensioner has been reported for the 2001 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Honda Accord based on all problems reported for the 2001 Accord.
The cam chain tensioner has failed twice and is scheduled to be worked on a third time. No accident (thankfully) has happened yet. The mechanic at the shop says it is very possible for the cam chain to 'jump time'. If this were to happen at say 55mph the rear tire of the motorcycle would probably lock up and therefore cause serious injury to the rider. I have spoken to numerous owners of this motorcycle and there seems to be several people with this same problem. Honda need to address this issue before someone is seriously injured because of an apparent design flaw.
