2016 Civic engine recall - piston pin snap ring issue affecting some VINs

[Mocha90210]

I just spoke with the American Honda hotline, and my EX-T is not listed as having any open recalls. Indiana plant, with 4xxx production line number.

I'd suggest you're one of the lucky ones that is not affected by either recall. The audio issue was only on the Touring model. And the other recall, as far as I can tell from the above posts, doesn't affect the turbo engine. So, all good for you!

If you put your VIN in the recall site, you don't see any outstanding recalls, right?

Not sure how you think that could be wrong. The amp update is finally coming out in Canada (as confirmed by my service manager by phone this morning), and only affects Tourings. This matches the recall notice issued against my VIN.

If there is another recall, and it sounds like there is, it does not affect Tourings. Otherwise, my service manager would have seen 2 recall notices against my VIN.

In KOAS' post it states 8000 Canada units and 33,500 USA units for a piston circlip. Affecting 2.0L engines. However you're saying your dealer confirmed that the 8000 Canada units are only for the amp TSB update. That's were im getting lost.

My Touring with the 1.5 Turbo is part of the recall. This was confirmed using my VIN. The part is on order.
If 41,800 units have this issue poor Honda would be out tens of millions of dollars. Bells would be going off everywhere, not just in this forum.

I'm sure they will be.

It'd only been 48 hours since the notice.

I just checked my VIN on the Honda recall webpage, and it said 0 open recalls. It is an EX-T just purchased Saturday. Not sure on the production date however.

Permit me to doubt they made 8,000 Tourings for Canada before that issue was solved. The US TSB was explicit about 3,703 units effected in the US before the software update was incorporated in line to production..

Bells will be going off soon enough. News travels only so quickly from Internet forum word to real world. Honda has over 5,000,000 vehicles involved in the Takata recalls alone. This isn't their first visit to the recall rodeo.

There's a recall coming out for most 2016 Honda civics .
It isn't out yet because they're still working on it.
Something with updating airbag sensitivity.
I guess some cars if you slam the driver door extremely hard the air bag has a chance of deflating
I was told by a Honda worker

My aunt told me the exact same thing .. I thought she was crazy .. guess not she works at honda

Not seeing any details yet, but am getting confirmation of a recall/update campaign for my VIN. Screenshot from Honda Canada site below...

I did not get this for my touring. It said "There is no recall or product update found for this vehicle. Please note this website only provides information on recalls/product updates issued after January 1, 2000."

Just got off the phone with Honda Canada. My 2016 Canadian LX 6MT VIN is part of the safety campaign notice.

Checking with my dealer now on next steps.

First the "emissions system problem", now this piston pin snap ring.

never buy first year cars...never learn...

I confirmed with my service manager that it is for the amp software update (I own a Touring). I also checked my VIN with another dealership in the area and they did a lookup and confirmed the same thing: Software product update only. Not a recall.

Hey does your dealer have the update for the touring amplifier? The TSB has been issued in Canada? Last time I checked two weeks ago they didn't have it in Canada lol

It's 8000 units for the circlip problem. I don't know about the TSB numbers.
