Buying a used 2019 Honda Civic? Check these 4 recalls first
For 2019 the recall picture narrows to two issues: three separate fuel-pump recalls covering pumps that can fail and stall the engine, and a passenger seat sensor that can trigger unintended airbag deployment. None carry stop-driving or park-outside warnings. NHTSA holds 348 unverified owner complaints, with steering the single largest category at 80 and fuel-related entries filling the next three slots. Reports include 23 crashes and 14 injuries, but no fires.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm all three fuel-pump recalls show as completed for this VIN.
- Ask whether the car has ever stalled or hesitated when starting or accelerating.
- Check the passenger seat-sensor recall status and that the airbag indicator works.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
