What 2016–2021 Civic owners report about the visibility

Owners have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention a side mirror on the 2016–2021 Honda Civic, and 138 filed under its visibility. Those 10, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Civic: 3 complaints
• 2017 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2018 Civic: 3 complaints
• 2019 Civic: 3 complaints
• 2020 Civic: none
• 2021 Civic: none

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

A 2016 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11528585: "Similar to the Honda recall issued today for the reverse camera failures, I have found a recurring problem with the 2016 Honda Civics. The dashboard screen should show the back-up camera when in reverse, as well as the backward-facing camera mounted on the right side mirror when the right turn signal is on."

A 2018 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11672792: "Paint job on this vehicle is awful 3+ yrs ago it started peeling and flaking off now there is no paint on my side mirrors Contacted Honda just to be ignored"

Recalls that cover the side mirror 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 side mirror. 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 side mirror a 2016–2021 Civic takes

Mirrors differ by heat, turn signal, blind-spot indicator, camera and power fold, which vary by trim more than by year. 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.
