| Feb 2025 | STEERING | My vehicle had the steering rack replaced in April 2024 after several visits to the Honda service center for "sticky steering". The vehicle showed improvement and was driven an additional 5-6k miles but then started having the same issue as before, the steering felt tight and got tighter the longer it was driven. Returned vehicle to Honda service center where they performed recall 23V-704 / YFW in Dec 2024. Again, there was an improvement but after driving another 5-6k, steering started getting tight again, the longer it is driven the tighter it gets. Returned vehicle to Honda Service center in February 2025 and was advised the could not find anything wrong and could not replicate the issue after driving 10 miles. There is definitely something "wrong" with the steering but Honda refuses to acknowledge this is still an issue for my specific CRV. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2025 | STEERING | I had an appointment today with Southern motors Honda in Savannah, Georgia at 9 AM. Due to a snowstorm yesterday they were unable to do the repair today. We were not notified of this and my husband drove an hour in icy conditions to get this recall repaired. They told him they do not know when they can get the repair done. When I called on Tuesday to try to reschedule due to the incoming snowstorm, she replied that someone will call me because their recalls schedules were out as far as June. Meaning I would not be able to get the repair done until June. I asked her if my car was still safe to drive and she said she could not confirm that. No one returned my call. I will be driving my car on Saturday to go on vacation in Florida. Will my car be OK to drive?

| Jan 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving the Automatic Emergency Braking System engaged for no reason. I was driving on [XXX] in NJ when another car passed me on the right . My car slammed the brakes on. The other car did not get in front of me but stayed in the right lane. If traffic was heavy this could have caused a major accident. Another instance I was driving on [XXX]. in Manahawkin, NJ and going around a bend in the road there was a parked car. My car slammed the brakes on. This has happened several other times also for no reason. Each time a warning sound went off. I brought the car in for service and reported it to Honda. They inspected it doing some type of scan and said there was no problem. The service advisor showed me how to turn the system off if I didn't feel safe. Yes my car is available for inspection and I am attaching the service report showing I did report it. I'm writing you because I read an article showing you are looking into this in other Honda cars and my car is not listed.

| Jan 2025 | STEERING | I brought my 2023 Honda CR-V into my local dealership on December 7, 2024 to address a “creaking” noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. Upon checking in with the service adviser, I was advised that my vehicle had 2 active safety recalls - the fuel pump, and the EPS gear box. I received an email from the dealership with an “inspection video” attached. Within the video, the technician states, “As far as the noise concern that you’re having, the only creaking noise I was able to hear, was the noise from the electronic brake motor, which is a normal characteristic of this vehicle… couldn’t find anything else going on”. Upon picking up my vehicle, I was advised the same by the service adviser, and was further advised that someone would be calling me as soon as the part came in to fix the EPS recall. On January 17, 2025, I called the dealership to inquire about when they anticipated on being able to fix the recall, as it had been approximately 6 weeks since I was advised that someone would be calling me when the part arrived. During this phone call, I was advised that the part had been steadily in stock for the past couple of weeks, and that I could bring in my vehicle anytime to fix the recall. On January 18, 2025, I brought my vehicle back to the dealership for the repair of the recall, and further explained to the service adviser that I was still hearing the “creaking” noise, as well as a “metallic” clicking noise coming from the steering wheel upon hard left turns. Approximately 5 hours later, I received a call from the service adviser explaining that the technician was able to identify both noises that I had described, and while they were able to replace the recalled part, it did not resolve the issue, and that my vehicle was in need of a steering rack replacement. She further explained that they were not authorized to replace the steering rack under the terms of the safety recall, and that the part is not covered under the factory warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jan 2025 | STEERING | I received 1st recall notice in Nov 2025. Part has been unavailable until now. Received email from dealer on 1/15/25 saying part was available and to schedule appt for repair. I called and next appointment was on 3/31/25. This is more than the 60 days allowed in the original recall notice. The car is unsafe to drive in its current condition and we don't have alternative transportation for this driver. What recourse do we have? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | POWER TRAIN | I was contacted about a gearbox active recall by Honda in November of 2024 and was told to go to a dealer and get it fixed. I have called the dealership several times only to be told that Honda has a fix but has not sent the correct parts to the dealerships to complete the fix. It has been more than 60 days since the notice. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | STEERING | I received this Recall Notice in November 2023. I called my local dealer & was told that I would be put on a list & they would call when the parts came in. I contacted them again today & was told it would be “months” as the parts were coming in slowly. I contacted the American Honda Customer Support. They contacted David McDavid Honda in Frisco, TX and I was told they had the repair kit and it was being held for me. They transferred me to David McDavid Honda and spoke to Marissa in their Service Dept. Marissa told me they did NOT have the part after all. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The driver's side mirror repeatedly shakes at speeds above 40 MPH and is very prolific at highway speeds (especially 70 MPH). It is extremely disorientating and makes it difficult when trying to get an accurate read of surroundings when changing lanes. I had the mirror glass replaced at a dealer, which only made the issue worse. Another dealer replaced the entire mirror assembly, which seemed to solve the problem temporarily. However, it resumed less than a month later and may even be getting worse. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
