2014 Honda Civic DX/LX Tire Bead Recall affects approx 10,000 cars

By Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin 

GM is not the only one to recall vehicles at the moment!

Honda is currently recalling more than 10,000 cars. The only model concerned is the 2014 Honda Civic, especially the LX version.

During assembly, a tire may have been pinched between the steel wheels and the assembly line, creating a weak point in the rubber. 

The more luxurious versions are not concerned, since they are equipped with alloy wheels. Those are not assembled in the same location.

Of the 10,000 cars recalled, only a handful have actually been sold. The rest are still sitting in dealer’s lots.

The recall started on March 28, and Honda is currently contacting the few clients with a faulty model. The repair is very simple, they will just change the tire. Of course, this will be done free of charge.
