Honda recalling almost 1.7 million vehicles over 'sticky' steering issue
View Date:2025-01-14 02:44:05
Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing a recall affecting nearly 1.7 million cars and SUVs in the United States over a steering issue that may increase the risk of a crash.
The recall involves 1,693,199 Honda vehicles of 2022 to 2025 models. That includes certain types of the following models:
- Honda Civic
- Honda Civic Type R
- Honda CR-V
- Honda HR-V
- Acura Integra
- Acura Integra Type S
According to the NHTSA report, the recall stems from an improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel, causing excessive internal friction in the vehicles. That friction can cause a feeling of "sticky feeling" when turning the steering wheel.
"Increased friction between the worm gear and worm wheel can increase steering effort and difficulty, increase the risk of crash or injury," according to the NHTSA report.
Honda first received complaints about the issue in Sept. 2021. The NHTSA opened its preliminary investigation in March, 2023.
Honda said that it had received 10,328 warranty claims since Sept. 2021.
