Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Pilot, and 2024 HR-V, Acura Integra and Acura Integra Type S vehicles. The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, which can result in an unsecured seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems."
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Acura Integra, Civic Type R, CR-V Hybrid, CR-V, HR-V, 2022-2025 Civic, Civic Hatchback, 2024-2025 Acura Integra Type S, 2025 CR-V Fuel Cell EV, Civic Hybrid, and Civic Hatchback Hybrid vehicles. The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Civic 4-door and Civic 5-door vehicles that received a replacement power steering rack as part of a service repair. The steering rack may have been incorrectly assembled, which can allow the tire to chafe against the lower suspension or tie rod end, possibly resulting in tire damage.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.

“The contact owns a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (Steering); the steering wheel continued making a clunking sound while turning to the right or the left. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that a diagnostic test was needed. During an oil change appointment, the dealer confirmed the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was filed, and the contact was advised to pay for the diagnostic test or contact another dealer for assistance.”
“I originally notified my dealer of concerns with my vehicles behavior while using cruise control and they verified that the systems were 'calibrated and working properly'. On a regular basis, my car will automatically and erroneously engage the vehicles brakes while driving, especially while using the automatic cruise control function. This behavior is far worse at night but has happened to me during the day as well and under all weather conditions. Typically, the gauge cluster will show a motorcycle or car being 'detected' on the screen before or at the same time this happens even though there typically is nothing there. Additionally, this may or may not be related. The entire driver assist system and cruise control are constantly failing to function and often show as 'unavailable' - the cruise control, lane keep, and auto stop features will stop working at random while in use constantly; seemingly heavily influenced by even that slightest adverse conditions - driving in the cold? 'System unavailable'. A rain drop hit the windshield? 'System unavailable'. Road is wet? System unavailable'. While I am able to stay alert and correct these issues as they are…”
“The contact leased a 2024 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, and making a lane change, the steering wheel overcorrected the change due to the automatic lane corrector and swerved across two lanes inadvertently, and collided with a semitruck and then into a wall. The air bag deployed, and the driver's seat belt independently unlatched. The contact stated that the seat belt unbuckled at some point during the collision. The contact sustained face burns and lacerations, right arm/shoulder, and right side rib injuries. Medical attention was needed for the contact. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a lot where the vehicle was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,083.”
