On Friday, January 29, 2016, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. notified NHTSA of a stop sale and safety recall for certain
2016 Civic vehicles due to potentially missing or mis-set piston pin snap rings that may cause engine stall or failure. Then
on February 9, 2016, American Honda added additional VINs to the affected list. Any new or used units in dealer stock
must be inspected and, if necessary, repaired per service bulletin 16-017, Safety Recall: Piston Pin Snap Ring
Inspection once the parts, tools, and complete repair information are available. Refer to your eResponsibility report or
VIN inquiry to determine which units in your inventory are affected by this safety recall.
As mentioned in previous communications, 100% of parts have been allocated to dealers for in stock units. Since then
the parts have been restricted. Effective immediately these parts are now available through controlled parts order; a
valid, unrepaired affected VIN will be required to obtain parts.
Please refer to updated Service Bulletin posted Friday March 11th for updated repair procedures. If you have already
inspected a vehicle following the previous version of the bulletin, the inspection requirement has been met and there is
no need to reinspect.
Thank you,
