Known issues on the 2021 Civic. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers a tie rod fastener joining the brake booster to the brake master cylinder that may have been improperly assembled, letting the master cylinder separate from the booster and causing a loss of brake function. The second covers the front passenger seat weight sensor, which can crack and short circuit and fail to suppress the air bag as intended, risking an unintended deployment. The third covers the in-tank fuel pump, which may fail and stall the engine while driving. The fourth, issued under a separate campaign, again covers the front passenger seat weight sensor cracking and short-circuiting in a way that can trigger unintentional air bag deployment. Owners have filed 140 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a brake booster inspection to a fuel pump swap or a seat sensor check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 Civic.
