The vehicle has 8 recalls primarily affecting the air bag inflator modules and the passenger frontal air bag installation. These recalls target components related to passenger and driver safety.
Recalls- Passenger air bag inflator rupture. Recall 14V353000 affects 133,207 vehicles. The issue involves Takata-brand inflators that may rupture upon deployment due to excessive internal pressure. This can cause metal fragments to strike occupants resulting in serious injury or death. Repairs involve free replacement of inflators.
- Passenger air bag inflator rupture in humid regions. Recall 14V700000 targets vehicles in high absolute humidity areas with no vehicles counted for this particular recall in the data. The defect and risk mirror those in recall 14V353000. Inflators are replaced free of charge.
- Passenger side inflator moisture intrusion. Recall 15V370000 affects 3,498,481 vehicles including 2001-2005 Civics. Moisture intrusion can cause inflators to rupture during deployment, risking injury from metal fragments. Dealers replace inflators at no cost. This recall supersedes prior campaigns and excludes vehicles with prior remedy installations.
- Driver side inflator rupture. Recall 15V320000 involves 6,281,043 vehicles. The driver frontal air bag inflator may rupture due to moisture and manufacturing variability, leading to metal fragments potentially causing injury or death. Free replacement of inflators is provided. This recall supersedes several older campaigns.
- Driver inflator explosion risk. Recall 19V499000 affects 3,947 vehicles with driver inflators assembled as recall remedy parts. Propellant degradation can cause inflators to explode, posing serious injury risk. Honda will replace the inflators at no charge.
- Driver inflator manufacturing defect. Recall 19V182000 covers 1,101,534 vehicles with previously replaced inflators containing a manufacturing error. This may cause inflators to explode upon deployment, risking severe injury. A free replacement with an alternate inflator is available.
- Passenger inflator explosion risk. Recall 19V501000 impacts 1,657,752 vehicles with passenger inflators assembled as recall remedy parts that may explode due to propellant degradation. The defect risks serious injury from metal fragments. Inflators will be replaced free of charge.
- Incorrect passenger air bag installation. Recall 18V268000 affects 1,335 vehicles where passenger air bags may have been improperly installed during replacement. Improper deployment may increase injury risk. Dealers will inspect and replace air bag modules if necessary at no cost.
Owners of 2004 HONDA CIVIC vehicles facing multiple safety recalls or unresolved repair issues may have protections under state lemon laws. Those dealing with repeated air bag defects or recall problems should consider consulting legal resources to understand their rights.
