Buying a used 2022 Honda Civic? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 881 owner complaints on file

Steering dominates the 2022 record. Two recalls address it directly — a gearbox that can make steering difficult and a replacement steering rack that may damage a tire — and 731 of the 881 unverified NHTSA complaints are filed under steering, by far the heaviest concentration among these Civic years. Driver-assist areas follow: forward collision avoidance at 71 and lane departure at 66. Two seat-sensor recalls cover airbag risk. Reports include 34 crashes, 19 injuries and three fires.

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. Confirm whether the steering gearbox recall was performed and whether a replacement rack was installed.
3. Drive at highway speed and in parking maneuvers, feeling for notchy or heavy steering.
4. Inspect the front tires for unusual wear or damage and ask about driver-assist false alerts.
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.
