Honda Recalls 1.7 Million Vehicles Over Steering Defect

The recall affects models from 2022 to 2025, including Honda Civics and Acura Integras, due to a faulty steering gearbox component.

The recall involves 1.7 million vehicles in the U.S. and an additional 300,000 in Canada and Mexico, totaling 2 million cars.
The defect is linked to an improperly manufactured steering gearbox worm wheel, which can cause increased friction and steering difficulty.
Honda has received over 10,000 warranty claims related to the issue but reports no injuries or crashes directly attributed to the defect.
Vehicle owners will be notified by mail in November and can receive free repairs, including a replacement of the worm gear spring and added grease at authorized dealerships.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating the issue in March 2023 following numerous complaints from drivers about 'sticky' steering.
