My vehicle, 2023 CRV was purchased through here. Now it has a major Recall and they have been giving me the run around since while we drive an UNSAFE vehicle. As it states, -??Due to the improperly manufactured electronic power steering (EPS) gearbox worm wheel and improperly set worm gear spring, friction between the worm wheel and worm gear can rise, resulting in additional steering effort and difficulty, increasing the risk of a crash or serious injury.-?? I reached out 3 times and was lied too about part not being there. Just talked to Honda, they said part has been available for 2 month now. This is supposed to be done within 60 days, but I haven-??t heard back for 5 to 6 months now. Everytime I call, there is no supervisor available and all techs are busy. I have 3 kids that ride in this car and need it fixed asap

I was in the collision accident on the service road when my new Honda CR-V 2023 started skidding to the left while I was making the smooth turn to the right, the vehicle was pulling to the left side of the road, hitting the metal guardrail on the driver side. Looked like I lost traction and skid from left then to the right, unable to control and maneuver the steering wheel. The vehicle was in steering recall but I was not aware of that, did not receive any notice of the recall. If this accident had never happened I probably would continue driving the unsafe vehicle and be more in a severe crash. The vehicle' steering column did not work and the vehicle was not drivable after the accident, and was towed to the car repair shop. I immediately notified the State Farm insurance about the collision but nobody told me I had to call the police.

The steering wheel in my 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring is "sticking" when going around wide turns on the highway. This issue is not experienced while driving around city streets. It feels like the steering wheel gently locks into place, but can easily be dislodged by giving it a little more turning pressure. The sticking sensation feels as though it has progressively been getting more pronounced in the past few months. This would certainly become a major safety issue if the steering wheel locks up completely at highway speeds. I have contacted the Honda Service Center at my local dealership regarding this issue. No warning lamps or messages appear on the dashboard and the latest Vehicle Health Report which I receive via email every month reports no issues.

Steering sticks when driving on the road, like it has worn tooth in a gear. You can feel it in the steering wheel. It also makes the car drift from side to side. The vehicle wants to wander on the roadway.

My vehicle had the steering rack replaced in April 2024 after several visits to the Honda service center for "sticky steering". The vehicle showed improvement and was driven an additional 5-6k miles but then started having the same issue as before, the steering felt tight and got tighter the longer it was driven. Returned vehicle to Honda service center where they performed recall 23V-704 / YFW in Dec 2024. Again, there was an improvement but after driving another 5-6k, steering started getting tight again, the longer it is driven the tighter it gets. Returned vehicle to Honda Service center in February 2025 and was advised the could not find anything wrong and could not replicate the issue after driving 10 miles. There is definitely something "wrong" with the steering but Honda refuses to acknowledge this is still an issue for my specific CRV.

I had an appointment today with Southern motors Honda in Savannah, Georgia at 9 AM. Due to a snowstorm yesterday they were unable to do the repair today. We were not notified of this and my husband drove an hour in icy conditions to get this recall repaired. They told him they do not know when they can get the repair done. When I called on Tuesday to try to reschedule due to the incoming snowstorm, she replied that someone will call me because their recalls schedules were out as far as June. Meaning I would not be able to get the repair done until June. I asked her if my car was still safe to drive and she said she could not confirm that. No one returned my call. I will be driving my car on Saturday to go on vacation in Florida. Will my car be OK to drive?

I brought my 2023 Honda CR-V into my local dealership on December 7, 2024 to address a -??creaking-?? noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. Upon checking in with the service adviser, I was advised that my vehicle had 2 active safety recalls - the fuel pump, and the EPS gear box. I received an email from the dealership with an -??inspection video-?? attached. Within the video, the technician states, -??As far as the noise concern that you-??re having, the only creaking noise I was able to hear, was the noise from the electronic brake motor, which is a normal characteristic of this vehicle-?? couldn-??t find anything else going on-??. Upon picking up my vehicle, I was advised the same by the service adviser, and was further advised that someone would be calling me as soon as the part came in to fix the EPS recall. On January 17, 2025, I called the dealership to inquire about when they anticipated on being able to fix the recall, as it had been approximately 6 weeks since I was advised that someone would be calling me when the part arrived. During this phone call, I was advised that the part had been steadily in stock for the past couple of weeks, and that I could bring in my vehicle anytime to fix the recall. On January 18, 2025, I brought my vehicle back to the dealership for the repair of the recall, and further explained to the service adviser that I was still hearing the -??creaking-?? noise, as well as a -??metallic-?? clicking noise coming from the steering wheel upon hard left turns. Approximately 5 hours later, I received a call from the service adviser explaining that the technician was able to identify both noises that I had described, and while they were able to replace the recalled part, it did not resolve the issue, and that my vehicle was in need of a steering rack replacement. She further explained that they were not authorized to replace the steering rack under the terms of the safety recall, and that the part is not covered under the factory warranty.

I received 1st recall notice in Nov 2025. Part has been unavailable until now. Received email from dealer on 1/15/25 saying part was available and to schedule appt for repair. I called and next appointment was on 3/31/25. This is more than the 60 days allowed in the original recall notice. The car is unsafe to drive in its current condition and we don't have alternative transportation for this driver. What recourse do we have?

I received this Recall Notice in November 2023. I called my local dealer & was told that I would be put on a list & they would call when the parts came in. I contacted them again today & was told it would be -??months-?? as the parts were coming in slowly. I contacted the American Honda Customer Support. They contacted David McDavid Honda in Frisco, TX and I was told they had the repair kit and it was being held for me. They transferred me to David McDavid Honda and spoke to Marissa in their Service Dept. Marissa told me they did NOT have the part after all.
