Showing coverage that applies to the Honda Civic across 2012–2015.

The 2012–2015 Civic is the ninth-generation car in CarFaultIQ's coverage. The imported records for these model years show 1.5, 1.8 and 2.4-litre four-cylinder configurations, across regular and premium gasoline, compressed natural gas and a hybrid. The records below cover these four model years only.

What was offered in these years

  • Engine sizes: 1.5L, 1.8L, 2.4L
  • Cylinder counts: 4
  • Powertrain types: 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

CarFaultIQ has no verified model-specific fault records for 2012–2015 yet. That is a gap in our coverage, not a statement that these years are trouble-free.

Recall campaigns covering these years

Five campaigns reach this window and none covers the full range. They span four systems: the power train, tyres, steering and fuel delivery. Three are limited to the 2012 model year — a steering column campaign, a driveshaft campaign and a fuel line campaign — while a transmission control module campaign covers 2014–2015 and a tyre bead campaign is limited to 2014. The official record therefore splits fairly cleanly between the first year and the last two.

  • 15V574000 — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM) applies to 2014–2015 within this 2012–2015 window
  • 14V109000 — TIRES:BEAD applies to 2014 within this 2012–2015 window
  • 12V548000 — STEERING:COLUMN applies to 2012 within this 2012–2015 window
  • 12V256000 — POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT applies to 2012 within this 2012–2015 window
  • 11V288000 — FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS applies to 2012 within this 2012–2015 window

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 across the whole 2012–2015 range: air bags, steering, power train, engine, visibility and an unclassified group. Steering and power train appear in both the complaint categories and the campaign list, though the campaigns themselves are confined to single years. Complaint categories are owner allegations and are not failure rates.

  • Air Bags reported across 2012–2015
  • Steering reported across 2012–2015
  • Power Train reported across 2012–2015
  • Unknown Or Other reported across 2012–2015
  • Engine reported across 2012–2015
  • Visibility reported across 2012–2015

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

The campaign record here is year-specific enough that a 2013 car falls outside all five, so establishing the model year matters before reading anything into the list. Steering and driveline are the areas represented on both sides of the record. The model-wide Civic resources are linked below.
