Recent owner reports: Steering

“While driving under 30 mph in clear and dry city conditions, my vehicle displayed a cascade of error messages on the dashboard. Within a mile of the initial alert, the vehicle suffered a complete loss of both propulsion and steering. I brought the vehicle to a stop on a slight incline.”

“Electronic Power Steering Rack / Steering Gearbox Assembly. Stiff or sticky steering makes it difficult to precisely control the vehicle's direction during high-speed driving or lane changes, increasing the risk of loss of control and collisions. Yes, the issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by the Honda dealership, and a quote for replacing the steering rack has been issued.”

“Had the NHTSA 24V-744 steering gearbox recall performed on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L. Immediately following the repair, the vehicle developed severe, unstable alignment tracking and 'memory steer' where the steering wheel fails to self-center after turning left. There is a dangerous, loose mechanical 'dead zone' in the center steering position and loud knocking noises coming from the steering column.”

Owner reports are unverified and filed directly with NHTSA.
