I have read most of the complaints filed with the NHTSA, and I don’t think those people are confused with LKAS. They describe the steering suddenly becoming increasingly difficult during highway speeds, and that it feels as though the power steering has failed, randomly, and for a sustained period.
Can you post a link I would be interested in seeing the specifics. Make, Model, etc.
Yes, post #15 in this thread. All are Gen 11 Civics, though none mention Model/Trim. I have not seen any specific data, but I think it may be only Canada Sedans, not US hatchbacks, but that is just anecdotal.
Exactly I wish there was a breakout of trim line...I read some and some of them are just a repeat of the others...Yes, post #15 in this thread. All are Gen 11 Civics, though none mention Model/Trim.

The lead investigator announced that they were conducting interviews of each of the individuals to get more extensive information, after which they evaluate the results and then work with the manufacturer to determine the scope of the recall (if any).
I'm having this issue with my US made '22 EX-L hatch. It's not as severe as some other people's descriptions seem to be, but it's there.Yes, post #15 in this thread.

Yeah, I thought it may have been just the sedans, but there are some hatches in there. My Sport Touring hatch doesn't have any "symptoms".
The issue has nothing to do with LKAS.
Definitely, and part of me wishes we had more info about the cars affected to try and find correlation, but i feel like more speculation isn't really practically helpful because we already have people making wild speculations based on very little information so I can only imagine the conspiracies that would come out of them. However I would be very surprised if they do a total recall (haHA!), just based on the number of affected units as a percentage, and knowing how many components actually make up the rack. My gut tells me this is an issue with the seals inside of some racks (most likely coming from Gates) and/or the assembly process. The failures are too infrequent overall, and too sporadic based on mileage (some people have issues at 4000 miles, some at 45,000 miles) to lead me to believe this is an outright design flaw with the rack. I'll look at mine again at the next oil change to see if there's any seepage happening, but then again I have no symptoms
It’s funny that no one thought of that. I refer you to #4 of this thread. I also wonder why other cars such as Corolla, mazda3 etc. don’t have this type of complaint on NHTSA website they are not equipped with this unheard of “advanced” LKAS technology? I understand Si guys/girls are very enthusiastic about their Honda, but for an issue that’s safety related should be something that everyone can agree on.
The problem is the torque angle sensor goes bad in the rack but its non replaceable.. whole rack gets replaced
Well since you already have that figured out, you should let the NHTSA know about it. Save everyone a lot of time and get the defective units replaced.
Im in Canda.. we dont deal with the nhtsa.. but this was coming from the Honda dealership.. they knew right away the problem and ordered me a rack instantly
Well, gee, since your Honda dealer has figured it out, they can report it to Honda and solve the matter for everyone.
Supposedly honda knows.. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Interesting......first I've heard of it.
OK, not to beat a dead horse, but what your Honda dealer told you does not make any sense.
