2017-18 Honda Civic Type R: owner’s manual lacking information or omitted
In December 2018, recall campaign 6NS was issued for Honda Civic Type R vehicles that were available for sale from 13 July 2017 to 11 May 2018. In certain vehicles, the Owner’s Manual may not contain all relevant information required by the mandatory standard and, in other vehicles, the Owner’s Manual may not have been supplied. As such, the driver and vehicle occupants may incorrectly use items such as the seat belts, child anchorage systems, vehicle notifications and operations. Replacement manuals were to be supplied to owners from January 2019. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/17175.

In July 2020, recall campaign 6FE was issued for 2018-19 model year Honda FK8 Civic Type R vehicles and this recall was updated in June 2021. Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell and cause the fuel pump to become inoperative. If the fuel pump stopped working, the engine could stall while driving – this could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users.
