The LX with 2.0L engine was recalled, but that is the only trim with manual transmission.
When will this manual LX be back for sale, please?
Thank you, pros.

I should hope that the dealers have the majority of the recalled cars inspected and finished by now. Maybe not all of them, but most.
I assume you found a manual trans car that you like already, call the dealer and ask if its recall has been completed and can be sold now.

I had talked to a service manager a few weeks ago and he says that he has seen only 4 total of the 2016 Civic sedans that have a manual transmission. When I purchased my 2016 EX, they only had CVT's on the lot. I still miss being able to shift but the CVT is smoother than other automatic transmissions I've driven. It really does feel like continuous acceleration although I admit I haven't done any crazy floor-stomping acceleration.
Regarding the recall about the check for the incorrectly installed piston pin snap rings, I received the notice back in April. I was lucky. They used a boroscope to inspect, and mine were installed correctly. I think I read that 40000 Civics were possibly affected. I would think they would probably have finished with the recall by now.

I think I read something like fewer than 20 cars were actually found to have issues during those inspections. Maybe I'm wrong, I forget stuff.
I don't think we received any manual trans 16 Civics at my dealer. Seems like they just don't sell here, or maybe we don't sell them so we don't get any to sell.
