Service bulletins for the 2004 Honda Civic

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

ENSURE THAT YOUR DEALERSHIP IS FILING UNDER THE CORRECT BULLETIN, BASED ON THE RO OPEN DATE, TO AVOID SUBSEQUENT CLAIM REJECTION.
