sterring wheel gets stuck while taking a curve on highway , take a bit more force to turn back to center position. feels like a break free from being stuck. the problem makes it hard to stay in your lane because of the extra force to re center steering wheel.

Incident date: Jan 23, 2024

Steering constantly sticks and is difficult to turn once car is warmed up. The main issue is highway driving as it can get stuck and takes a lot of effort to keep straight. Issue keeps progressing and dealership will not fix under warranty.

Incident date: Jan 28, 2024

Steering on this car will stick in position. Look it up online there are many many people describing it. It's like the steering racks are too tight or the electric boost isn't sensing properly. Requires more effort to initiate an input then it unsticks and you overcorrect. A few days ago I was i... Read more

Incident date: Jan 23, 2024

Only center sticky steering feel when making slight left-right adjustment.

Incident date: Nov 30, 2022

While driving at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour and while the wheel was centered, the steering would stick.

Incident date: Aug 15, 2023

Steering “sticks” in curves while driving around 40-50 MPH. The steering sticks and does not return to center own its own. Problem worse in warmer weather , the cold has made the issue come and go (40 degrees and lower issue not as apparent). Aside from sticking in curves it’s hard to keep th... Read more

NHTSA Safety Investigations — HONDA CIVIC SI

Investigations opened by NHTSA into potential safety defects. These are separate from recalls and may or may not result in a recall.

EA — Closed — Model Year: 2022

Momentary Increased Steering Effort

On November 29, 2023, the Oï¬ce of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Engineering Analysis (EA23003) to assess allegations of momentary increase in steering eï¬ort in model years (MY) 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023MY Honda CR-V, and 2023MY Acura Integra vehicles (subject vehicles). The com... plaints received by ODI alleged that the subject vehicles experienced a momentary increase in required steering eï¬ort (described as âsticky steeringâ) occurring mostly at highway speeds after driving for an extended amount of time; these complaints could not be duplicated during dealer service techniciansâ quick test drives.Â The complaints had been received over the previous two years with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. The steering gear of these vehicles is aided by an electrical power assist unit. This power assist unit inputs force on the steering rack via a worm gear and worm wheel assembly. During PE23005, Honda stated this condition of momentary increase in steering eï¬ort occurs due to two factors within this power assist unit. First, during manufacturing, the steering worm wheel goes through annealing and component conditioning processes. These processes cause internal stress and strain within the steering wormÂ wheel. This strain is slowly released over the ï¬rst few months of the vehicle life. Over time, the released strain causes deformation of the teeth on the worm wheel, causing the worm gear to catch on the worm wheel. This catching results in the driverâs momentary increased steering eï¬ort. Second, the manufacturing process did not guarantee consistent grease application and, therefore, some subject vehicles received insufficient grease which contributed to the momentary increase in steering eï¬ort. During EA23003, ODI further analyzed the potential safety related consequences of the momentary increase in steering eï¬ort. NHTSAâs Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) duplicated the allegations of increased steering eï¬ort. In addition, VRTC discovered the steering worm wheel and worm gear tended to push grease out of the meshing area, resulting in large amounts of grease resting on top of the worm wheel. Information Request responses collected and reviewed by ODI showed Honda had also discovered this additional root cause during NHTSAâs EA. In addition, Honda discovered the preload of the worm wheel gear spring was set too high, increasing the gear slide load and resulting in higher friction and increased torque ï¬uctuation when steering. The number of consumer complaints made to ODI continued to increase with the expansion of scope from the PE to the EA. Additionally, during EA23003, ODI received ten complaints alleging a crash, in addition to the 13 complaints ODI had received as of the time it opened EA23003. In total, 23 crashes have been reported to ODI due to this alleged defect. On October 3, 2024, Honda ï¬led NHTSA Recall No. 24V-744 to address this defect. The recall will provide consumers with a new steering worm wheel gear spring with a decreased load. Additionally, dealerships will add additional grease and relocate any grease sitting on top of the worm wheel back into the meshing area. The scope of this recall includes all Honda vehicles that were manufactured with this speciï¬c improperly produced steering worm wheel and spring. In view of the recall action being taken by Honda, ODI is closing EA23003. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identiï¬cation Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.Read more
