Buying a used 2018 Honda Civic Type R? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 603 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Honda Civic Type R has 2 recalls in this group, covering fuel pump failure and unintended front passenger airbag deployment. NHTSA lists 603 owner complaints, which are unverified reports. Steering leads the listed areas with 225, followed by unknown or other with 106; fuel system and gasoline each have 89. Those category counts should not be added as distinct incidents. The complaint record makes steering service history relevant alongside documentation of fuel pump and airbag recall repairs.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify fuel pump recall completion and ask about fuel delivery problems.
3. Request front passenger airbag recall repair documentation.
4. Ask about steering problems and request related inspection or repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
