What is being recalled
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 Civic passenger vehicles, manufactured from October 26, 2012, through October 30, 2012. These vehicles were assembled with the incorrect steering column assembly.
Why it is dangerous
The steering column may not have proper energy absorbing characteristics, which could increase the risk of injury during a vehicle crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the steering column, as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall began on December 10, 2012. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 12V-548 when calling a dealer.
