2024 Honda Civic recalls

Critical fasteners

The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, which can result in an unsecured seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems." An unsecured driver's seat may not adequately restrain the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Fix: Dealers will replace the driver's seat cushion frame, free of charge.

Recall 24V859000 · Nov 2024

Steering

The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle. Difficulty steering can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the worm gear spring and redistribute or add grease as necessary, free of charge. Honda's numbers for this recall are SJS, MJU, QJT and VJV.

Recall 24V744000 · Oct 2024

Rack and pinion

The steering rack may have been incorrectly assembled, which can allow the tire to chafe against the lower suspension or tie rod end, possibly resulting in tire damage. A damaged tire can fail and increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the electric power steering rack, as necessary, free of charge.
