The 2018 Honda Civic has 6 recalls in this group, including unintended power steering input, fuel pump failure, unintended front passenger airbag deployment, missing owners guide information, and an incorrect certification label date. The guide and label items concern documentation; the steering, fuel pump, and airbag entries concern operating systems.

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 steering recall completion and request records of unintended steering input.
3. Confirm completion of all applicable fuel pump and front passenger airbag recalls.
4. Check that required owners guide information and the corrected certification label were supplied.
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.
