2025 Honda CR-V steering problems

“The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle and turning the steering wheel in either direction, the steering wheel was sticking with a delay while returning to the center. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the steering gearbox needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V744000 (STEERING). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 97,000.”

“The contact owns a 2025 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.”

“A clicking sound is heard every time I turn the vehicle, and the steering wheel feels like it’s a bit stuck. I know there was a gearbox recall but my vehicle was not included on this recall. I read al the symptoms for the electric gearbox defect and it matches what I am experiencing with my car.”

“Electronic Power Steering Rack / Steering Gearbox Assembly. Stiff or sticky steering makes it difficult to precisely control the vehicle's direction during high-speed driving or lane changes, increasing the risk of loss of control and collisions. Yes, the issue has been diagnosed and confirmed by the Honda dealership, and a quote for replacing the steering rack has been issued. The Honda dealership has already inspected it. A noticeable sticky sensation or binding occurs when steering; this first appeared at a mileage of approximately 39,000 miles.”

“Had the NHTSA 24V-744 steering gearbox recall performed on my 2025 Honda CR-V EX-L. Immediately following the repair, the vehicle developed severe, unstable alignment tracking and 'memory steer' where the steering wheel fails to self-center after turning left. There is a dangerous, loose mechanical 'dead zone' in the center steering position and loud knocking noises coming from the steering column. Additionally, the technician mechanically damaged the steering column's internal clock spring ribbon cable during the repair, compromising the driver's SRS airbag deployment system. The vehicle's severe misalignment is causing glitchy Lane Departure Warning alerts because the camera tracking doesn't match the crooked physical steering angles, and it is actively destroying the front tires. The servicing dealership performed a brief 5-mile test drive and refused to fix the safety issues, writing 'no abnormalities found' on the invoice to clear their liability, and actively refused to provide my requested digital alignment machine printout. Honda Corporate customer service has refused to intervene, leaving the vehicle completely unstable and unsafe to drive.”

“Driving on road with a number of left curves on September 24, 2026. While making the turns, with no driver input, the steering wheel jerked 2-3 times a few inches to the right . Noticed the steering wheel jerking to the right before, but not as severe. I currently own a 2020 Honda CRV and have had other CRVs and never had a steering problem such as this. There is obviously a defect in the manufacture of the steering system on this 2025 Honda CRV. We are currently afraid to take this CRV long distances as it is unreliable and most likely dangerous. We’ve made an appointment at a Honda dealership to have the problem identified (and hopefully addressed). If not, thinking about getting rid of it.”
