Major Recall Hits Honda and Acura Vehicles

Honda has announced a significant recall affecting nearly 1.7 million vehicles, including popular models such as the HR-V. This recall is primarily due to a critical issue with the steering box that poses a potential risk to drivers.

Details of the Recall

This new recall affects vehicles up to the 2025 model year across both Honda and Acura brands. The issue relates to a steering worm gear that was produced to incorrect specifications and installed improperly due to a faulty worm gear spring. Consequently, this defect has led to grease thinning, which increases the effort required to steer these vehicles.

Affected Models

The recall includes the following models:

• 2024 to 2025 Acura Integra Type S
• Honda Civic Type R
• 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid

Despite this recall, the Honda Civic Hybrid remains a highly regarded vehicle among consumers.

Next Steps for Owners

Fortunately, there is a remedy available. Honda and Acura dealers will replace the defective worm gear spring. This will not only reduce the excess steering load but also help redistribute the existing grease or repack the steering gear box with fresh grease, ensuring a safer driving experience.

For further assistance, affected owners are encouraged to contact their local dealerships. Staying informed about recalls is crucial for ensuring vehicle safety and reliability.
