EDIT: after doing some more searching I realized that the 1,156 is in relation to their FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS recalls, not the driveshaft recall. Now that I know there are recalls for two different things, I'm even more sure I need to find out if my vehicle is safe.
 
I thought there were 50,000... but you say 1,156. Is that still current or am I missing something?
 
I ask because we purchased Honda Civic 2012, that had just barely gotten to the dealership that day we bought it (May 12th) with 4 miles on the odometer total.
 
It is:
4-door, Sedan
Automatic
 
Does have some weird issues, like if you lean to far to the right while in the passenger seat, like trying to put your for head near the window, it brings up an airbag off light for that side and makes no sense.
 
The reason I leaned to the right while in the passenger side, is because I herd a very hard to hear clicking sound from the front of the car somewhere.. you could hear it well if the road was perfect and smooth and the area quiet so there is no interference with noises, and going about 20-30 miles an hour.
 
I really need to find out if my Civic is defective because I drive a daily rout that, if our vehicle stalled/lost control/became unable to stop/shut off, then there are over 30 cliffs along my route we could go flying hundreds of feet down, family and all.
 
Should I contact my dealership who I bought the car from? Or Honda directly?

The leaning to the right issue you mention is related to a safety feature for the passenger airbag. It takes a certain amount of weight to activate the front air bag. This is to prevent injury to children riding in the front seat in the event that the airbag deployed.
 
When you leaned over the weight shift on your seat probably caused the air bag off light to come on.
 
Happens when my 8 year old daughter rides in the front seat. She is not heavy enough to activate the airbag...

Has anyone had this issue or currently having? My 2012 Civic odometer just stopped diplaying the mileage. I wonder if this will also become a recall. I'm sure my warranty will cover the repaire.
