Known issues on the 1993 Civic. Thirteen recalls are on federal record for this model year. Twelve of them cover aftermarket replacement headlamp, corner-lamp, and combination-lamp assemblies sold for use on this Civic that were built without the required amber side reflectors, which can reduce lighting visibility to other drivers and increase crash risk. The remaining recall covers the automatic transmission shift cable's retaining clip, which can lose enough pressure over repeated shifting that it comes off, letting the shift-lever position stop matching the actual gear the transmission is in and risking unanticipated vehicle movement. Owners have filed 181 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures for both the lighting circuits and the transmission linkage are in this manual.

Whether you're verifying lamp and reflector compliance, inspecting the shift cable and linkage, or working through routine maintenance on the D-series engine, it keeps you on the OEM specification for your specific 1993 Civic.
