Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC SI AND ON 4/29/17 I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER TO ADDRESS THE 'CHAULKING, CLOUDING OF MY PAINT. THIS WAS REPAIRED BY CAMPAIGN # 14-034, ENTITLED: PAINT CHALKING, CRACKING, CLOUDING WARRANTY EXTENSION. THIS WAS REPIRED AND THE PAINT LOOKED GREAT AFTER PICKING THE CAR UP. NOW ON 5/30/18 EXACTLY 1 YEAR LATER THE SAME EXACT THING IS HAPPENING TO THE PAINT ON MY CAR ON BOTH REAR DOORS AND RIGHT SIDE PILLAR ABOVE THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE SAME HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THIS REPIRED BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THOSE PANELS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN. BUT I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THESE PANELS WERE ORIGINALLY REPAIRED ON 4/29/17 BECAUSE WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN THERE WAS SOME CLOUDING IN THOSE AREAS ALTHOUGH MINIMAL IN COMPARISON TO ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD AND FENDERS. SO IT'S MY CONCLUSION THAT THEY ONLY COMPOUNDED THE MINIMAL 'CLOUDING/CHAULKING' TO BANDAID DOOR PANELS AND PILLAR INSTEAD OF THE PROPER FIX BECAUSE LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. HONDA CLEARLY HAS A ISSUE WITH THEIR CLEAR COAT BECAUSE THESE CLOUDING/CHAULKING ON BOTH REAR DOORS AND RIGHT FRONT PILLAR LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS MY ROOF,HOOD,FENDERS AND TRUNK DID AND THEY REPAIRED THOSE ITEMS ON 4/29/17 THUS ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. SO HONDA SHOULD BE REPAIRING THE CLEAR COAT ON MY DOORS AND PILLAR NOW.

AIR BAGS

Dealer message - On Monday, June 23, 2014, American Honda announced three recalls for various 2001-11 Honda models. As of July 23, 2014, affected VINs have been identified, and service bulletins 14-040, Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Others ? Front Passenger?s Airbag Inflator Can Be Over-Pressurized, 14-045, Recall: Front Driver?s Airbag Inflator May Produce Excessive Pressure After Long-Term Exposure to High Absolute Humidity Recall, and 14-046, Recall: Front Passenger?s Airbag Inflator May Produce Excessive Pressure After Long-Term Exposure to High Absolute Humidity have been posted to ISIS. However, due to the large number of affected units, American Honda is still in the process of populating the VIN status inquiry function on iN, which is expected to take several days. When this process is complete, American Honda will notify all dealers again via iN message. Until that time, the existing acknowledgement procedure must be used for all potentially affected vehicles.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
