2017 HONDA CIVIC
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback and Civic Type R vehicles because the front seatback pads lack the necessary openings for seat-mounted side air bags to deploy properly. If a crash occurs, the seatback pad could block the air bags from functioning correctly, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. These vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requirements for side impact protection.
Owners will be notified by Honda, and authorized dealers will replace the front seatback pads at no cost. The recall began June 15, 2018. Affected consumers should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 for more information, referencing recall numbers E1D, U1B, and X1C.
