Honda has announced that they will be recalling approximately 50,000, 2012 Honda Civic subcompact sedans. According to the recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the process of setting the retaining clip on the driver’s side driveshaft may have not been completed and the driveshaft could separate. The driver may experience loss of power and the vehicle could roll away even though the transmission has been set to “park”. Honda will inspect the driver’s side driveshaft and replace it if necessary. Owners wanting more information about the problem can contact Honda customer services at 1-800-999-1009.

Driveshaft Problems For Honda Civic
Monday, June 18th, 2012Honda Airbag Injury Victim Lucky To Be Alive
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012A Georgia woman is lucky to be alive after suffering a potentially fatal neck wound from a chunk of metal from an airbag deployment in her 2001 Honda Civic. Kristy Williams wounds are similar to injuries sustained by a teenager in Oklahoma and a mom in Virginia who were not as lucky when their airbags deployed with a deadly force. Medical reports show all three women sustained similar injuries and all women drove 2001 Honda vehicles.
Honda’s first airbag recall came in November 2008, and has been expanded four times to cover 2.5 million vehicles. The recall, however, stops at the 2003 models even though regulators have received 127 complaints about Honda and Acura models over the last 10 model years whose airbag went off with no crash. In Williams case, the surprise deployment was linked to an improper repair after an airbag replacement done to the vehicle before she bought it.

2012 Honda Civic Recalled For Fuel Leak
Friday, May 20th, 2011Honda has announced a recall for certain 2012 Civic 2 door and 4 door vehicles, to repair a possible fuel leak. The suspect vehicles, manufactured between April 21, 2011 through May 2, 2011, may have been manufactured with a misaligned o-ring in the fuel feed line allowing a small amount of fuel to seep through. Because many of the vehicles have not been sold yet, it is estimated that the recall will affect a little over 1,150 Civic owners. Honda will be sending out recall notices this month and urge owners to contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 if they have any questions.
