If you have recently received a CHEAP Citizens, you know how lovely its seat is. They’re almost perfect, except for the fact that they don’t come with a heater. I suppose that’s what Built-in Type WILL is for. ONEanyway, some owners have discovered the driver side thrones have another bug, which is that they tend to make squeaks and rattles when driving normally. This is because the frames are broken a bit.
In case you lost it:
No, really. Follow our friends at auto blog, through the weld fault in the seat cushion frame. This causes the hiss that some owners have complained about 11th Generation Civic Forumbut it also affects the safety of the driver in the event of an accident.
Notice has not been posted on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website not yet, but one separate theme on the aforementioned forum contains a screenshot of a service bulletin. According to the document, “no parts are available for repair” and customers will be notified by mid-May. Hopefully, fixes will be possible by then.

It’s unclear how many vehicles this recall impacts, but the going theory from the community seems to be that it’s limited to the first wave of cars manufactured. Jalopnik has reached out to Honda to confirm this. The reason the issue is exclusive to the Type R and doesn’t widely apply to all 11th-gen Civic models likely has to do with the Type R having bespoke bolsters with enhanced rigidity, because you need it in this thing.
It’s been some months since I drove the new Civic Type R, but I don’t recall a squeaking sound from under my butt. In fairness, even if there had been a noise I probably wouldn’t have noticed it. My attention was elsewhere. This car has a funny way of doing that to you.
