The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced the recall of 176,000 Hondas due to an issue with the car’s power steering rack.
The NHTSA said that some 2022 through 2024 Civic 4-door and 5-door vehicles have steering racks that may not have been assembled correctly, which could allow the car’s tires to rub against the vehicle’s lower suspension or tie rod, causing damage to the tire.
Dealers will examine and replace the steering rack if necessary for free.
Owners of the recalled Civics will get letters after Dec. 4 or they may contact Honda directly at 888-234-2138. Honda’s internal number for the recall is YFW, the NHTSA said.
