The 2023 Honda Civic Type R has two recalls, the more serious being a driver's seat frame that may not have been properly welded, which can cause the seat cushion frame to break and fail to hold the driver in place during a crash.
There is also a steering recall: the electric power steering system can lose assist, making the wheel noticeably harder to turn and raising the risk of a crash.
