6 recalls across 8 model years
The Honda Civic Type R has 6 recalls covering 2017 through 2025, with the most serious being a front passenger seat sensor defect on 2017–2021 models where the airbag can deploy unintentionally during a crash, raising the risk of injury to the front passenger.
The 2023–2025 models have a steering recall where the electric power steering can become difficult to operate, reducing the driver's ability to control the vehicle. On 2023 models, the driver's seat cushion frame can crack due to a weld issue, potentially leaving the seat unable to properly restrain the driver in a crash. The 2018–2020 and 2019 model years share a fuel pump defect common across many Honda and Acura vehicles of that era, where the low-pressure pump inside the fuel tank can fail and cause the engine to stall while driving.
