Front Brake Kit — Pads and Rotors for the 2016–2021 Honda Civic

What 2016–2021 Civic owners report about the brakes

Owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention brake pads or rotors on the 2016–2021 Honda Civic, and 207 filed under its brakes. Those 9, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Civic: 4 complaints
• 2017 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2018 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2019 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2020 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2021 Civic: 1 complaint

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2021 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11440302: "2125 miles on this Type R, fresh off the show room floor. At low speed turning into the slight dip in my driveway, the suspension in Sports Mode flexed enough for the driver side tin rotor back plate at the driver front wheel to get caught on the lower control arm."

Recalls that cover the front brake kit on the 2016–2021 Civic

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2016–2021 Honda Civic whose defect is in the front brake kit. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which front brake kit a 2016–2021 Civic takes

Rotor diameter and thickness follow the brake package, which is why two cars of the same model and year can take different kits. The 2016–2021 Honda Civic came with several powertrains, among them 1.5L I4 CVT FWD, 2.0L I4 CVT FWD and 2.0L I4 Manual FWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
