2014 HONDA CIVIC — Complaint #1058682
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW filed April 21, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1058682 (ODI reference 10584077) concerns a 2014 HONDA CIVIC and was filed on April 21, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 30, 2014. The vehicle had 165 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:side/window, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 2, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CIVIC cohort independently describe similar air bags:side/window failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 HONDA CIVIC shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
