Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies four potential safety concerns for certain 2017 Honda Civic vehicles. Missing or incomplete owner-manual information can leave drivers without required child-restraint guidance. A dislodged power-steering magnet may create unintended steering input during a full-lock turn, reducing maneuverability. Improper seatback pads may interfere with side-air-bag deployment in a crash. A weakened right halfshaft may break, stop the vehicle from moving, or contribute to a roll-away situation when the parking brake is not engaged. Waiting can leave a known safety issue unresolved, so check your VIN and arrange the manufacturer remedy promptly.
