STEERING:RACK AND PINION
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023 Passport and Ridgeline vehicles. The inner ball joint housing in the steering gearbox assembly may loosen and detach from the steering rack and result in a loss of steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the steering gearbox as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2024. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is LHY.
- 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 245 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% 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 one model year, 2023, 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 8 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V114000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 163 complaints with NHTSA, 39 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 October 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 24V900000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V321000 (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 March 7, 2024 as campaign 24V184000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
