Known issues on the 2016 Civic. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers exterior lighting: a damaged LED side marker light circuit board can leave the marker light inoperable, reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers. The second covers the electric parking brake, which may not engage if applied immediately after the ignition is turned off, letting the vehicle roll away. The third covers 2.0L-equipped cars built in a specific production window, where a missing or incorrectly installed piston wrist pin circlip can let the pin drift and damage the cylinder, causing the engine to seize. The fourth covers the in-tank fuel pump, which can fail and stall the engine while driving. The fifth covers the front passenger seat weight sensor, which can crack and short circuit and cause the air bags to deploy unintentionally in a crash. Owners have filed 1,075 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 an EPB that won't hold to a fuel pump diagnosis or a 2.0L engine inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Civic.
