Showing coverage that applies to the Honda Civic across 2006–2011.

The 2006–2011 Civic is the eighth-generation car in CarFaultIQ's coverage. The imported records for these model years show 1.3, 1.8 and 2.0-litre four-cylinder configurations, and an unusually varied fuel set for a Civic: regular and premium gasoline, compressed natural gas, and a hybrid powertrain. The records below are filtered to these six model years.

What was offered in these years

  • Engine sizes: 1.3L, 1.8L, 2L
  • Cylinder counts: 4
  • Powertrain types: cng, gasoline, hybrid
  • Fuel types: cng, premium gasoline, regular gasoline

Displacements and powertrain types come from the imported vehicle records for these model years. A specific engine code cannot be established from displacement alone, so no engine-specific claim is made here.

Documented problems for these years

One documented page applies to these years — an engine block cracking record covering 2006–2009. It does not extend to the 2010 and 2011 cars in this window. Compared with the recall record below, the issue-page coverage for this generation is thin, and that reflects what has been documented rather than the condition of the vehicles.

Recall campaigns covering these years

Eight campaigns reach this window and all eight concern one component: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator module. Five apply across the full 2006–2011 range; the other two narrower ones cover 2009–2011 and 2010–2011. Repeated campaigns against the same component are common where an inflator population was expanded in stages, so the number of campaigns is not a count of separate faults.

  • 19V502000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011
  • 19V378000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011
  • 18V661000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE applies to 2010–2011 within this 2006–2011 window
  • 18V268000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011
  • 18V042000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE applies to 2009–2011 within this 2006–2011 window
  • 17V545000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011
  • 17V030000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011
  • 16V346000 — AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE affects 2006–2011

A model and year match does not prove a specific vehicle is affected. Check the VIN against the official recall database. Check a VIN at NHTSA

Reported complaint patterns

Six categories recur in aggregated owner reports for 2006–2011: air bags, steering, power train, engine, visibility, and an unclassified group. These are owner-filed allegations rather than confirmed failures, and they do not establish how often anything fails.

  • Air Bags reported across 2006–2011
  • Steering reported across 2006–2011
  • Power Train reported across 2006–2011
  • Unknown Or Other reported across 2006–2011
  • Engine reported across 2006–2011
  • Visibility reported across 2006–2011

These are categories that recur in aggregated owner reports for these years. They are evidence signals, not failure rates or proof of a defect.

Buying and inspection guidance

With every campaign here tied to the airbag inflator, a VIN check against the official database is the single most important step on this generation. The engine-block record applies only to 2006–2009. Best and worst years, common problems and the complete evidence list are linked below.
