AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION:FRONT PASSENGER
Air bags that deploy unintentionally during a crash increase the risk of injury.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1,358 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Air bags that deploy unintentionally during a crash increase the risk of injury.
Fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the EPB is not applied, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
If a side marker light does not function, vehicle visibility can be decreased to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
If a circlip is missing or incorrectly installed, the piston wrist pin may not be secure and may drift and damage the engine cylinder causing the engine to seize, and increasing the risk of a crash or a fire.
Two 2016 HONDA CIVICs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
