Complete Strut Assembly Pair for the 2016–2021 Honda Civic

What 2016–2021 Civic owners report about the suspension

Owners have filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the struts on the 2016–2021 Honda Civic, and 29 filed under its suspension. Those 6, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2017 Civic: none
• 2018 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2019 Civic: 1 complaint
• 2020 Civic: 1 complaint
• 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 2019 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11573824: "Since purchasing the vehicle at around 35k miles there’s been an occasional clicking / knocking noise when turning. It’s not consistent, but it seems to be the start of the CV axle failing or something with the struts."

A 2021 Civic owner, NHTSA complaint 11593295: "Steering wheel catches and I have had to replace a strut due to the car wearing out my tire. I have kept proper maintenance and align my wheels regularly. This is a manufacturer defect not yet recalled."

Recalls that cover the complete strut pair 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 complete strut pair. 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 complete strut pair a 2016–2021 Civic takes

Struts differ by drivetrain, spring rate and trim, and cars with adaptive damping need a strut wired for 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.
