Accordarse has the action on yourself. For example you remember when you went out with your friends or when you were young and you did something (me acuerdo cuando era pequeño y íbamos juntos a la playa"). Recordar is to remember something not about yourself like remembering where the car is parked (no recuerdo dónde esta el auto!!)
