I doubt it affects rates significantly, but addressing recalls is always a good idea for overall safety. Better safe than sorry!
Exactly! Plus, a well-maintained car can potentially enhance resale value. It’s a win-win.
I still have a 2006 Civic and was surprised it has had multiple recalls. Handling them has made me more cautious with maintenance.
It’s wild how recalls affect our perception of car ownership. I was hesitant to trust my Civic after hearing about the problems.
Honestly, I haven’t encountered any problems beyond the recalls. My Civic has been reliable overall, knock on wood!
I’ve had some funny experiences with my Civic. Like when I went to get the recall fixed and they gave me a loaner car! Not too bad.
That sounds like a good deal! I’m dreading the day I need to take mine in… but better safe than sorry!

Overall, the recalls seem annoying but necessary. Keeping safety in mind is key when driving an older model.
I love driving my Civic despite the recalls. It still feels sporty for a 2006 model! Anyone else appreciate the engine performance?
Absolutely! I still enjoy my daily drives, but I know I need to stay on top of the recalls.

Recalls can be contentious. Some argue they’re overblown. But after my experience with brake issues, I think vigilance is key.
It’s funny how we always hope recalls won’t affect our cars too much. But, definitely better to keep things safe and sound!
If you own a 2006 Honda Civic, be aware of two major recalls: the airbag issue and the power window switch defect. It’s important to address these as they can impact safety.
Thanks for the info, tclayton! Anyone know how long repairs usually take at the dealership?

The airbag repairs typically take a couple of hours, but it can vary. I recommend calling ahead to check the queue at your local dealership.
Just had my airbag replaced last month. The dealer was really quick about it! They even provided a rental car for free while I waited.
That’s great to hear, vgraham! I didn’t know they offered rentals. Do they cover all costs, or is there a limit?
They usually only cover the rental for the duration of the repair, but it should be disclosed upfront. Definitely worth asking about!

Sounds like a hassle! What do you think if they don’t, though? Are there any options to get it covered?
You can always check with your insurance about rental coverage; sometimes they offer a policy that covers it too.
