Every Honda Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Honda has 96 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 16 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve fire risk, wheels and tyres and high-voltage battery. Enter your registration to check your Honda; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Honda dealer.¹

Honda has one of the lowest recall rates of any major brand in the UK, with 1.74 car recalls per 100,000 cars on the road since 2020, but some of its older recalls still matter. Honda was one of the makers most affected by Takata airbags, with dozens of airbag and inflator recalls over the years; if you own an older Jazz, Civic, CR-V or Accord, check the registration even if you think the work was done. Since 2020, the largest Honda recalls have been a CR-V power window switch that could short circuit if liquid got in (R/2020/377, 77,836 vehicle-records) and a fuel pump that could fail and stall the engine on the Civic, CR-V, HR-V and Jazz (R/2020/186, 76,887). In 2026 Honda recalled Civic accessory wheels fitted without steel bushes (R/2026/025). Honda recalls tend to arrive later than average after a model's launch, so older cars should be checked regularly. Any Honda dealer can check your VIN.
