Report Receipt Date: FEB 09, 2016
NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V074000
Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Potential Number of Units Affected: 42,129

Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s)
HONDA CIVIC 2016

Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

SUMMARY:
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 Civic vehicles manufactured September 22, 2015, to February 3, 2016 and equipped with 2.0L engines. The affected vehicles have engines with piston assemblies that may have been manufactured without a piston wrist pin circlip or with an incorrectly installed piston wrist pin circlip.

CONSEQUENCE:
If a circlip is missing or incorrectly installed, the piston wrist pin may not be secure and may drift and damage the engine cylinder causing the engine to seize, and increasing the risk of a crash or a fire.

REMEDY:
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the piston assemblies and damaged engine components, as necessary, free of charge. Parts are expected to be available in the Summer of 2016. Owners will be mailed an interim notification beginning March 31, 2016, and will be mailed a second notice when parts are available. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is JX9.

Can someone post a picture of what this "clip" looks like and the location of it under the hood? Would a person know if something is loose just by driving the car?
