2017 HONDA CIVIC Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Honda Civic has 8 recalls, the most serious being a combination of drivetrain, steering, and wheel issues that can each cause a loss of control: the passenger-side driveshaft can fracture and separate, the electric power steering can suddenly apply force in the wrong direction during a tight turn, and certain dealer-installed aluminum wheels can shed their lug nuts and detach while driving. The driveshaft fracture carries an additional risk when parked on a hill without the parking brake engaged, as a broken shaft can allow the car to roll even with the gear selector in Park. On the steering side, a magnet inside the torque sensor can come loose and cause the system to steer against the driver's input rather than with it. The wheel separation issue applies only to aluminum wheels installed as dealer accessories before or after delivery, not factory-fitted wheels. For Hatchback and Type R models, replacement seatback pads may have been made without the cutout needed for the seat-mounted side airbags, which can prevent those airbags from deploying properly in a crash. There are also two owner's manual recalls affecting Hatchback and Type R vehicles where the guide was missing, incomplete, or incorrect.
