The problem is due to a manufacturing defect and can increase friction in the steering gearbox assembly, according to documents provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Drivers may notice abnormal noise and/or a momentary “sticky” feeling from the steering wheel while turning the vehicle.

To fix the problem, Honda and Acura dealerships will replace a faulty part with an improved version and add lubrication within the steering gearbox assembly, free of charge. 

According to NHTSA, there have been over 10,000 warranty claims but no crashes or injuries related to this issue. Vehicles built on or after Aug. 30, 2024, have improved steering gearboxes and are not included in the recall.

This is a separate issue from another steering-related recall for some Honda Civic models issued last year.
