08:17 AM EDT, 10/09/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Honda Motor ( HMC ) is recalling up to 1,693,199 vehicles due to a possible incorrect steering gearbox assembly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday.

The affected models include 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.

The incorrectly manufactured steering gearbox "can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle," which may increase the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said.

Honda ( HMC ) dealers will replace the worm gear spring and redistribute or add grease as necessary, at no extra cost to customers, the agency said.
