In the affected vehicles, steering column tilt brackets designed for use on 2013 models were accidentally used in 2012 Civics. According to Honda, this could adversely affect the car’s performance in a crash. “This issue was discovered during quality checks at the factory, and no crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue,” the automaker said in a statement.

Honda will notify owners starting in early December, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Honda at 800-999-1009, option 4, or go online to www.recalls.honda.com for more information.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
