15 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 2006 Honda Civic. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Honda been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Exterior lighting › Brake lights › Switch

Summary

September 5, 2007NHTSA 07V399000260,000 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip › Wheel speed sensor/tone ring

Summary
On certain vehicles, the wheel speed sensor housing uses an o-ring seal to prevent leakage to or from the wheel bearing. If assembled improperly, the o-ring may not seal properly allowing water to enter the wheel bearing and eventually cause damage to the bearing, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. If the driver continues to drive with this condition it is possible for the wheel bearing to become loose, which could cause the bearing to fail.
Consequence
This could cause a wheel to fall off of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the rear ABS sensors and wheel bearings for damaged parts and replace them free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2007. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
