Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS filed October 9, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2031172 (ODI reference 11618950) concerns a 2022 HONDA CIVIC and was filed on October 9, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 19, 2023. The vehicle had 25,527 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:hood:hinge and attachments, 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: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. 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 structure:body:hood:hinge and attachments failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
