6 recalls across 8 model years
The Honda Civic Type R has 6 recalls spanning the 2017–2025 model years, with the most serious being a front passenger airbag sensor defect on 2017–2021 models where the airbag can deploy unexpectedly during a crash, raising the risk of injury to the occupant it is meant to protect.
On the steering side, 2023–2025 models have a recall where the electric power steering system can lose assist, making the wheel noticeably harder to turn and increasing crash risk. The 2023 model year also has a separate issue where the driver's seat cushion frame weld can fail, preventing the seat from properly holding the driver during a crash.
Going back to the 2018–2020 model years, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the tank can fail and stall the engine while driving. The 2019 model year carries this same fuel pump risk, covered under a related recall that addressed the same failure across a broad range of Honda products. Both fuel pump recalls describe the same consequence: unexpected engine cutout with no warning while the car is in motion.
