STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
Issued by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) · Reported Sep 27, 2018 · 54 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Honda Civic and CR-V vehicles. The magnet that controls the torque sensor output signal for the electronic power steering system may not be properly secured, allowing the magnet to become dislodged. During a full lock turn, the dislodged magnet may cause steering assist to be applied in the opposite direction.
Consequence
The unintended steering input reduces vehicle maneuverability and increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gearbox assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are C2N, P2O.
