The 1990 Honda Civic has 2 recalls, the more serious being an automatic transmission that may not fully lock in Park, allowing the vehicle to roll away and potentially cause a collision.
The second recall involves the windshield mounting area, where poor adhesion between paint layers can cause the paint to separate, weakening the bond that holds the windshield in place and reducing its ability to stay seated in a crash.
