Ignition Coil and Spark Plug Set for the 2016–2021 Honda Civic

What 2016–2021 Civic owners report about the engine

Owners have filed 28 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention ignition coils, spark plugs or a misfire on the 2016–2021 Honda Civic, and 262 filed under its engine. Those 28, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Civic: 4 complaints
• 2017 Civic: 8 complaints
• 2018 Civic: 10 complaints
• 2019 Civic: 4 complaints
• 2020 Civic: none
• 2021 Civic: 2 complaints

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

A 2017 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11571722: "Car fuel injectors will fail and cause misfiring. Dangerous to drive due to engine running rough. Unusual for fuel injectors to go out so soon especially when driven with care and using correct fuel octane."

A 2018 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11642951: "Engine failure while driving down the highway. Was able to safely get off the highway without being able to accelerate. Car was towed to the Honda dealership where all the maintenance has been done. They said the car had a cylinder misfire and would need the engine replaced. It would cost $13,000."

Recalls that cover the ignition coil set 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 ignition coil set. 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 ignition coil set a 2016–2021 Civic takes

Coils and plugs are specific to the engine, and the plug's heat range and gap are set by it. 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.
