Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies four components associated with certain 2018 Honda Civic vehicles. A certification-label problem may make it difficult to determine whether a vehicle is included in a recall. A power steering magnet may become dislodged and cause steering assist in the opposite direction during a full-lock turn, reducing maneuverability. Certain vehicles may lack required child-restraint information in the owner kit. A low-pressure fuel pump may fail and cause an engine stall while driving. Delaying a VIN check can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so schedule service promptly if you received a notice or are unsure about prior recall work.
