honda civic recall
Definition
A formal procedure initiated by the Honda Motor Company to retrieve and repair vehicles deemed to have safety defects or non-compliance with motor vehicle safety standards.
A rite of passage for many Civic owners, involving a trip to the dealership to fix anything from software glitches to wheels that might decide to independently explore the road.
Examples
My Honda Civic is so advanced that it doesn't just drive to the grocery store, it periodically returns to the dealer for a recall-induced bonding session.
Owning a Civic is like being in a long-term relationship where you get frequent surprise invitations to spend your Saturday morning at the service center.
I told the mechanic that we should stop calling them recalls and start calling them 'spontaneous automotive upgrades' to make the process feel more premium.
