Honda Recalling Millions Of New Vehicles
Honda is recalling approximately 1.7 million vehicles in the United States due to a potential steering issue that could elevate the risk of accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The recall affects a range of models, including the popular Civic and Civic Type R, Acura Integra, and CR-V, covering production years from 2022 to 2025.

The issue stems from a potentially defective steering gearbox assembly that may have been incorrectly manufactured. This defect can cause increased internal friction, resulting in difficulty steering and potentially compromising vehicle control. The problem appears to be linked to the gearbox’s internal components, specifically related to wear in the gear spring, which could increase resistance when turning the wheel.
To address the problem, Honda dealerships will replace the gear spring and redistribute or add grease as necessary at no cost to the owners.
Owners of affected vehicles are advised to contact their local dealers or refer to the NHTSA documents for further details on the recall process and to confirm if their vehicle is included.
