The original clutch/flywheel assembly failed at about 34,000 miles. Honda repaired it under TSB 22-017, which addresses supplier production issues causing premature friction-disc wear. Honda advised that updated components were installed.  Significant clutch slipping began again in early June 2026. At about 61,500 total miles, only about 27,500 miles after the first repair, transmission removal and clutch-component replacement were required. The onset date entered is approximate.  The dealer documented: \"Clutch shows sign of Heat Buildup on flywheel and pressure plate with debris inside bellhousing on release bearing. Recommend replacing Pressure plate, Friction Disc, and release bearing.\"  Inspection photos show substantial heat discoloration of the pressure plate/flywheel and heat/glazing of the friction disc. The servicing Honda dealer did not identify driver abuse or improper clutch operation as the cause. No significant fluid contamination or catastrophic transmission damage was identified to me. I have substantial manual-transmission driving experience without comparable repeated failures.  Clutch slipping allows RPM to rise without corresponding acceleration, creating a potential unexpected inability to accelerate when merging, entering traffic, crossing intersections or climbing grades. Honda classified this as out-of-warranty wear and tear. I request that NHTSA retain and compare this repeat premature failure, including failure of Honda's updated replacement, with other Civic manual-transmission complaints. Repair orders, photos, mileage documentation and the TSB can be provided upon request.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"CIVIC","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
