What this recall means for you
Certain 2017-2018 Honda Civic Hatchback and Civic Type R vehicles may have been built without the owner's guide, or with an owner's guide that does not properly include required information. The vehicles therefore do not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 225, which covers child restraint anchorage systems.
If the information is missing or improper, it can increase the risk of injury or a crash, because owners may not have the guidance they need on how to use the vehicle's systems correctly.
Honda will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the owner's information kit free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is involved, contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 (Honda recall number O3A), and check your VIN for open recalls.
