Honda is recalling more than 400,000 Civic vehicles across the United States to address a potential problem that could cause the wheels to detach while driving.

According to the automaker, the recall affects approximately 406,290 Honda Civics manufactured between 2016 and 2021 that were equipped with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels sold as accessories. The recall was prompted by a manufacturing issue that may allow the wheels to separate from the vehicle over time.

The defect was identified after reports suggested that certain wheel assemblies could loosen due to improper installation or design tolerance issues. A detached wheel poses a serious safety hazard, increasing the risk of crashes or loss of control on the road.
Owners of affected vehicles are being urged to visit their nearest Honda dealership, where technicians will inspect the wheel assemblies and, if necessary, replace the hubs and wheels free of charge. The company emphasized that repairs and parts are available, and service appointments can be scheduled immediately to ensure vehicles meet safety standards.
This is the latest in a series of recalls for the automaker, which has been addressing a range of safety-related issues in recent months. Earlier this year, Honda recalled certain Pilot models due to a potential brake pedal malfunction that could reduce braking performance.
While the company has not reported any injuries or accidents linked to the Civic wheel issue, it is encouraging owners to take action as soon as possible to prevent potential safety risks. Drivers can check whether their vehicle is included in the recall by contacting Honda directly or visiting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall website.
