NHTSA Mandated Recalls
  • Recall 151030 [USA]: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. an underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. these scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.

  • Recall 85797 [USA]: Decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 79630 [USA]: Without the amber side reflex reflectors, the lighting visibility may be affected, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 38100 [USA]: Lack of amber side reflectors in the lamps will decrease lighting visibility to other drivers and may possibly result in a vehicle crash.

  • Recall 50864 [USA]: Lack of amber side reflectors in the lamps will decrease lighting visibility to other drivers and may possibly result in a vehicle crash

  • Recall 51209 [USA]: Without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning.

  • Recall 61860 [USA]: Without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

This honda was involved in an accident yesterday with both side and front impact while in motion, both impacts being major. But neither the passenger or driver's airbags were deployed at any time. There were no warning lights on about the airbag prior to this.

Accessory driver-side floor mats used in 1996-1998 honda civic vehicles. Due to the shape of the floor on these vehicles, a mispositioned floor mat could interfere with the accelerator pedal. The car is in motion. K60

My 1996 honda civic's engine turns off while driving. There was just a recall for the newer versions(2016 honda civics) for the same problem. I cannot find any recalls online about 1996 honda civics shutting off while driving though. I have had this problem for about a year now.

Passenger side sub-frame is heavily rusted and broken at the bottom. Passenger side wheel moves side to side with ease. The car has been owned by me for two years with no issue. I do not and have not used the a/c, but likely related to the a/c drip tube pointing directly on the sub-frame and rusting it through. It's not worth repairing but could possible be reinforced with a weld. Selling dealer denies any defect upon original sale. Even though the car was mainly rust free, what was lurking underneath was definitely not safety inspected before putting on the lot for sale. At the time i inspected the vehicle, i saw no obvious damage to the passenger side lower control arm and sub-frame area. I later found out the damage to be concealed by sanding and dark colored undercoating. Presumably by the scam dealer. Even though the car is and has been driven in the ne, honda should assure that critical parts like this will stand up. I can't say what work had been done to the vehicle before i owned it, or if the vehicle was garaged or not. From what i am reading, that does not make a difference though. Honda owners, check this item. I couldn't see putting a new sub-frame, along with steep dealer labor prices to correct this issue. Honda america needs to step up with an admission of fault and a recall, if not only to reinforce those frames that are stressed.

8/4/2014 dear american honda motor company, inc. I am a proud honda owner, and i chose honda as my auto of choice for its compact size, its known reliability as well as great gas mileage. I have been holding on your customer service line @ 1-800-999-1009 for quite a while and a few days, and i have been unable to speak to a customer service representative, so i am in this letter corresponding my concerns to you. I own a 1997 honda civic lx which i purchase in 6/12/2006 new. My honda has just legitimately clocked 90 thousand miles as of 8/4/2014, so i am queried i would be having problems. I was recently informed by a honda dealer as well as i checked and read on line that honda issued a recall on these models for transmission problems as well as the paint chipping off in several areas. I never received any kind of notification from honda nor had an opportunity to have my honda checked for these problems, although i had my honda serviced in 3 major pennsylvania honda dealership service departments on a regular basis. It was never reported as a major concern to me, my auto check engine light is on and off and the car stutters and jerks while accelerating indicating problems, i can drive without a major incident doing neighborhood chores or physicians office visits if the auto is going 40 mph or under, and when taken to be serviced by me and checked, it is not showing up. Recently my auto bogged down on the highway only going 50 mph while the speed limit is 70, i was frightened by this occurrence and i felt the auto was going to stop and i would be unable to get out of harms way! I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and i am asking for goodwill repairs concerning these problem as well as a repair for the chipping paint. Would you please get in touch with me so these can be resolved? *tr
