Honda is recalling certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, HR-V, Fit, Insight, Passport and the Acura TLX, RDX and MDX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short circuit. If that happens, the airbags can go off when they should not during a crash.

Honda says the steering gearbox in these vehicles may not have been manufactured correctly. This defect can create too much internal friction inside the gearbox assembly. That extra friction can make the steering feel harder to turn, so drivers may have more difficulty steering the vehicle than they should. Honda is recalling the vehicles to fix this steering gearbox problem so the issue is corrected properly.

Some Honda Civic vehicles that had their power steering rack replaced during an earlier repair may have had the new rack installed incorrectly. This can allow the tire to rub against the lower suspension or the tie rod end, which may damage the tire. A damaged tire can fail while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Dealers will inspect the steering rack and replace it if needed, free of charge.

Some Honda Civic Hatchback and Civic Type R vehicles may not have come with an owner's guide, or the guide that was included may be missing information it's required to have about installing child seats. Because this information may be missing or incomplete, an owner may not have the details needed to correctly use the child seat anchor points in the vehicle.
Honda is recalling certain 2017 and 2018 Civic and CR-V vehicles. These vehicles have a magnet that controls the torque sensor signal for the electric power steering system. This magnet may not be properly secured and can become dislodged. If this happens during a full lock turn, the dislodged magnet may cause the steering assist to apply in the opposite direction.

The manufacturing date area on some Civic certification labels may show random characters instead of the correct information. That label is used to check whether a vehicle is covered by a safety recall, so having the wrong information there can make it hard for an owner to tell if their vehicle is included in a recall.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 11 safety recalls covering the 2018–2022 Honda Civic. 9 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Honda and Acura front passenger airbags may deploy unintentionally" (NHTSA campaign 26V332000), reported May 21, 2026.
Which Honda Civic model year has the most recalls?
The 2018 Honda Civic has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2019 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 4. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Honda Civic?
No. None of the 11 Honda Civic recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Honda Civic has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Honda dealer, including for second owners.
