Known problems with the 2023 Honda Civic
3 of the 4 issues we track for the 2022–2025 generation are documented against the 2023 model year, and 1 carries a recall or service bulletin.
'Sticky steering', momentary increase in steering effort (recall)
majorNHTSA 24V-744A 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.
Typical cost: Free under recall
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.
Typical cost: $0 (software update / recalibration under warranty)
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.
Typical cost: $0 under warranty (rattles); tire cost if switching to quieter rubber
1 more issue reported in other 2022–2025 years
- Fuel pump impeller recall spillover. Check early-build 2022s — 2022 (early builds; not part of the formal recall population)

About the Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is the best-selling compact car in America, and the 2012–2025 span covers three mechanically distinct generations that all take 0W-20 oil, a Group 51R battery, and the same ubiquitous 15400-PLM-A02 spin-on oil filter. 4L K24 Si. Cheap to run, with AC compressor clutches and front engine mounts as the main wear items.
5T L15B7 brought big fuel economy but also documented cold-climate oil dilution (2016–2018, warranty-extended) and a leak-prone AC condenser that Honda covers for 10 years under TSB 19-091; 2018–2020 cars are also caught in the giant Denso fuel-pump recalls (20V-314/23V-858). 5T, adds a 200-hp hybrid for 2025, and its one headline defect. 'sticky steering', was fixed by recall 24V-744 in late 2024.
Unlike fixed-interval brands, every modern Civic uses Honda's Maintenance Minder: the car computes oil life itself (typically 7,500–10,000 miles per change) and displays codes (A/B plus sub-codes) telling you exactly what's due, so owners constantly look up what the codes mean, which oil to buy (always 0W-20 for these years), and how to reset the wrench light.
