October 23, 2024 – In two seperate recalls this month, Honda has recalled a total of 2.4 million vehicles of their late model vehicles. Earlier this month, Honda recalled 1.7 million vehicles for steering issues. It seems there was a manufacturing issue that could make it difficult to steer the vehicles and lead to crashes. The safety recall order from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, potentially causing “excessive internal friction” that could make the vehicle difficult to steer and increase the likelihood of a crash. The vehicles covered in the recall were from model years 2022 to 2025 and include certain Acura Integras, Honda Civics, Honda CR-Vs and Honda HR-Vs.
Later in the month of October, Honda recalled an additional 700,000 vehicles for fuel pumps that could leak. The recall includes the Accord and Accord Hybrid 2023-2024; the Civic and Civic Hybrid 2025 and the CR-V Hybrid 2023-2025. Honda said that it has had 145 warranty claims, and no reports of injuries or deaths related to the issue from February 2023 through September 2024. The automaker said that dealers will inspect and replace the high-pressure fuel pump as necessary and for free. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Dec. 4. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
