Overview
- The recall covers Civics equipped with a specific 18-inch Honda accessory wheel rather than standard factory rims.
- Wheels produced in roughly December 2018 through 2019 may lack five steel inserts in the lug holes, creating a risk of loose lug nuts and wheel loss while driving.
- Honda linked the defect to a production-control lapse at the supplier’s plant in Italy after a barrier separating finished from unfinished wheels was removed.
- Dealers will remove and inspect all four wheels, replace rims and suspension hubs as required, and drill two holes in any faulty wheels to prevent reuse.
- Honda will mail known purchasers, though reaching every vehicle may be difficult because the wheels were resold in the aftermarket and the supplier shut down in 2023.
