Honda has announced a massive recall of over 1.6 million vehicles in the US due to potential steering issues.
The problem lies in the steering gearbox worm wheel, which may have been improperly manufactured. This can cause the worm wheel to swell and reduce the lubrication between it and the worm gear, making steering difficult.
The recall affects several models of Acura and Honda cars, including the Integra, Civic, CR-V, and HR-V. Affected vehicles may experience abnormal noises or a sticky steering wheel.
Honda urges owners to take their vehicles to authorized dealers for a free repair. Dealers will replace the worm gear spring and add grease as necessary.
Owners can contact Honda Customer Service at 1-888-234-2138 or NHTSA’s safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
