Steering Recalls (1)

RECALLCampaign #18V663000

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Honda Civic and CR-V vehicles. The magnet that controls the torque sensor output signal for the electronic power steering system may not be properly secured, allowing the magnet to become dislodged. During a full lock turn, the dislodged magnet may cause steering assist to be applied in the opposite direction.

Fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering gearbox assembly, free of charge. The recall began November 9, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are C2N, P2O.

Your steering wheel jerks or pulls suddenly to the left or right while driving on highways, especially after 30 minutes to an hour of driving. When you try to make small corrections to stay straight, the steering grabs and pulls hard in one direction, which has nearly caused accidents in heavy traffic. No warning lights appear, but this unpredictable behavior makes the car difficult to control safely.

NHTSA #: 11728237

Your steering wheel feels sticky and requires extra force to turn from a stopped position, causing jerky and unpredictable steering movements. This makes it difficult to stay in your lane since small adjustments aren't possible, and the steering seems to skip or catch unexpectedly. The owner mentions that newer Honda Civic models were recalled for similar issues and is concerned about potential loss of control while driving.

Your steering wheel is sticking when you make small adjustments at highway speeds, then suddenly releasing and causing the car to overcorrect and veer off course. This makes the vehicle hard to control and could be dangerous. This problem has been reported by multiple owners of this model year on online forums. A mechanic should inspect your steering system, steering column, and power steering components for binding or wear.

The electric power steering intermittently resists driver input during low-speed maneuvers and near full-lock turns. Steering effort suddenly increases and feels as if assist is being applied against driver input. This behavior matches the failure description in Honda EPS torque sensor magnet recall (2017–2018 Civic / CR-V, campaign C2N / P20).

There is a recall for 2022-2025 Honda civics for gearbox repair/sticky steering issues and my year 2017 is NOT included. I’ve had this issue since I bought my car from Phillipsburg/Easton Honda on October 3, 2023.

When I am driving going above 40 miles per hour, the steering wheel has a slight resistance when making minor corrections. When trying to correct direction in a lane to stay straight, the steering wheel sticks, or catches, and when you get it to move it makes a jerking motion. This is a safety concern, because I am worried that this will ultimately result in an accident as the issue gets worse.

Steering wheel has become very "sticky". Minor steering adjustments are now very hard to make, causing a jerking motion of the wheel while just trying to maintain a straight lane. These kinds of motions can cause safety concerns for those driving the car as well as others on the road as jerky movements can result in crash.

While driving the steering is “sticking” and feels like there is tension while driving on a straight road and trying to keep the the vehicle straight. The tension in the steering wheel is overcome while trying to keep it straight causing the vehicle to jerk in that direction. You must react in the opposite direction to avoid collision which causes it to jerk in the other direction. It happens at all speeds and most noticeably at 40+ mph making it very concerning to drive and difficult to control the vehicle. My concern is that the vehicle will lose control completely at some point due to this issue.

Steering wheel "sticks." I has been doing it since around 40,000 miles. It has gotten worse with time. While driving in straight line after it warms up the steering wheel does not move when trying to make micro adjustments and then when it does it jerks and causes the driver to overcompensate. Makes driving very tiring and unsafe. It is difficult to keep the car driving straight when tis happens. I can see there have been recalls regarding this problem with newer Civics, like 22-23, but mine has been doing it and it is a 2017. Last time it happened was recently while my drive was driving and I was out of town on 3/15/24.

My 2017 Honda Civic 4 Door EXT has been having problems with power steering. The steering is "sticky" and tends to point the car to either left or right. There is slight resistance to returning to central driving and then jerks back towards the middle, causing the car to jerk.

While in motion at highway speeds. And even at slower speeds of 25-45 MPH the car will sway left to right and I will overcompensate to correct the sway. It will start to pull right when I slowly try to correct it by shifting the wheel to the left.

While driving straight on the freeway the steering sticks while making small corrections to keep the car straight in the lane. Its a catchy feeling causing me to overcompensate after it catches/sticks. Also when sitting still waiting for a stop light the steering seems to jump a notch by itself.
