Known issues on the 1986 Civic. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front seat belt buckles, whose red plastic release buttons can break and let fragments fall into the buckle assembly, causing the buckle to operate improperly and leaving an occupant without adequate crash protection. The second covers the front windshield wiper contact unit, which can loosen and become dislodged under high ambient temperatures, leading to wiper failure and reduced driver visibility. The third covers the left-side driveshaft, which can develop cracks near the outer joint and, under high stress such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, break without warning and cause a sudden loss of power and a crash. Owners have filed 52 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a seat belt buckle inspection to a wiper linkage check or a driveshaft joint replacement, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1986 Civic.
