Honda Canada has just issued a major recall for around 239,000 Honda and Acura vehicles sold across the country.
The vehicle recall involves several popular models from 2022 to 2025, including the Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Acura Integra and more. In a press release on Wednesday, Honda Canada said these cars have a defective steering gearbox that could make the steering “sticky,” leading to an increased crash risk.
The defect is linked to the steering gearbox’s worm wheel, which can swell due to heat and moisture. This causes friction between the parts, resulting in what Honda calls “sticky steering.” Drivers may experience difficulty turning the wheel, which could create dangerous situations on the road.
Here’s everything you need to know about which Honda and Acura vehicles are affected by this recall and what you should do if yours is one of them.
