Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the vehicle's age, mileage, or how many owners it has had. Check your VIN against the NHTSA database to see what is still outstanding on your specific vehicle, a recall listed here may already have been performed.
'Sticky steering', momentary increase in steering effort (recall)
majorA poorly made worm-wheel/worm-gear set in the electric power steering rack can bind, making the wheel feel notchy or momentarily 'stick' at highway speed, then release. After an NHTSA investigation and years of owner complaints, Honda recalled about 1.7 million vehicles in October 2024, including 2022–2025 Civics (sedan, hatch, Si, Type R, and 2025 hybrids). The free fix replaces the worm-gear spring and redistributes grease; cars still exhibiting symptoms after the recall can get the gearbox replaced under warranty.
Fuel pump impeller recall spillover. Check early-build 2022s
minorThe Denso fuel-pump impeller defect that hit the 10th generation (recall 23V-858) covers vehicles built through 2020, but some early 11th-gen owners report the same hard-start/stall symptoms and Honda has replaced pumps case-by-case under warranty. Run your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether any open fuel-system campaign applies before paying for diagnosis.
Honda Sensing phantom braking / warning complaints
minorNHTSA complaint data for 2022–2023 cars clusters around the collision-mitigation system braking or alarming for overpasses, shadows, or oncoming traffic that isn't a threat. Software updates have improved behavior; a camera recalibration after windshield replacement is essential. No US recall for this as of mid-2026, document occurrences and report to NHTSA.
Interior rattles and road noise
minorThe most common non-mechanical gripe: dash/B-pillar rattles and more road noise than rivals on the 18-in wheels. Dealers resolve rattles with retainer clips and felt under TSB-guided goodwill; tire choice makes the biggest noise difference. Purely a comfort issue.
