NHTSA recall 18V663000
Steering · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: The unintended steering input reduces vehicle maneuverability and increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gearbox assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2018.
