- Approximately 239,000 Honda and Acura vehicles in Canada affected by a defective part in steering gearbox
- Issue can cause increased steering effort and difficulty that can increase risk of a crash or injury
- Free repair of steering gearboxes will be completed at authorized Honda and Acura dealerships
Honda Canada has voluntarily recalled approximately 239,000, 2022-2025 Acura and Honda vehicles in Canada for a free-of-charge repair of a defective part in the steering gearbox that could result in increased risk of a crash or injury.
An improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel can swell when exposed to environmental heat and moisture, reducing the grease film thickness between the worm wheel and worm gear.
In addition, the worm gear spring reload was set improperly high, increasing the sliding force between the components. Excessive friction between these components can cause increased steering effort and difficulty, or "sticky" steering.
Registered owners of all affected models will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will add grease and replace the worm gear spring with an improved part.
Honda Canada is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer for repair as soon as they receive notification. Mailed notification to owners of vehicles will occur in November 2024.
Owners of these vehicles can also determine if their vehicles require repair by visiting www.Honda.ca/recalls , www.Acura.ca/recalls or by calling 1-888-946-6329.
