I have a 2020 Honda Accord that hasn’t had any problems, but recently it’s been making a weird ticking noise. What could be the cause of a ticking noise on a Honda?

A ticking noise is definitely something you’ll want to get checked out. Two common causes of a Honda ticking noise are a failed oil seal or water pump.
Other causes of a ticking noise in a Honda include:
Exhaust leak
Powertrain mechanical noise
Electrical component bearing moving parts
Damaged or defective spark plugs
Faulty wiring harnesses or connectors
If you’re hearing a ticking noise coming from the engine of your Honda, call your local Honda dealership or mechanic to have the problem diagnosed.
