Major Honda Civic recall (Canada & USA)

Honda Recalls 45K Cars for Scary Reason

Honda is recalling about 45,000 newly redesigned Civic compact cars in the US and Canada because the engines can fail and stall while being driven.

The recall affects 2016 Civics equipped with 2-liter four-cylinder engines. Documents filed by Canadian safety regulators say that a circular clip around the pistons may be missing or was improperly installed at the factory. That can cause a pin on the piston to rub against the engine block and possibly cause engine failure or a fire.

It was unclear if any crashes, fires, or injuries had happened. Dealers will inspect the piston clips and fix them if necessary. In the US, dealers can't sell the affected cars until they are repaired. The recall covers about 34,000 Civics in the US and roughly 11,000 in Canada.
