Drivers of vehicles with this issue told the NHTSA that the problem arose mostly at highway speeds after driving for a period of time, and most of the complaints were received regarding vehicles with low mileage.
Dealers in these regions will replace a worn gear spring with an improved part, and add grease if required, and the carmaker plans to notify vehicle owners by mid-November, the report wrote. This issue stems from improperly produced parts which can swell when exposed to environmental heat and moisture, while the improper setting of a spring increased the sliding force between components, Honda was quoted as saying.
The report noted that the NHTSA said last year it had received reports of 13 crashes related to the issue, of which 11 drivers said they lost control of the vehicle as they could not overcome the increased steering effort before te vehicle failed to stay on course, and left the road.
