– A recall of Honda Civic 18-inch aluminum wheels includes wheels sold as accessories for more than 406,000 model year 2016-2021 Civics.
However, Honda estimates that a very small 0.1% of 18-inch aluminum wheels are defective.
According to Honda, the steel lug seat inserts were not pressed into the seating surface of the aluminum wheel’s lug nuts during production.
This can cause the seating surface to deform, causing the lug nut to loosen and loosen, causing the 18-inch aluminum wheel to separate from the Civic.
A routine inspection in Japan revealed the problem when the cam seat inserts were found to be missing.
Honda describes what caused the wheel problem:
“At the supplier’s factory in Italy, during the installation of new equipment, a separation fence used to separate finished products from unfinished products was removed. As a result, some unfinished products were accidentally placed in the finished products storage area and shipped, skipping the seat press-fit and final inspection process.”
A loose wheel can cause serious safety issues, but Honda received no warranty, injury or death claims in the US between September 24, 2015 and October 16, 2025.
In Canada, the 18-inch aluminum wheel recall affects the 2018 Honda Accord and 2017-2020 and 2022-2024 Honda Civics.
Recall letters for Honda Civic 18-inch aluminum wheels will be mailed on December 8, 2025 and dealers will inspect the wheels and replace the hubs and wheels if necessary.
