STEERING
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Odyssey and 2024 Acura RDX vehicles. The steering gear box assembly may not have been tightened properly, allowing water to enter the assembly and cause corrosion and binding gears.
- What it can cause
- Corroded and binding steering gears can result in a loss of steering control and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the electric power steering rack, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are LHU and FHT.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 186 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the steering 7 times before this, most recently in November 2023 as 23V735000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 197 complaints with NHTSA, 25 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V332000 (air bags), 25V877000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V858000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V431000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on February 15, 2024 as campaign 24V114000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
