In a surprising announcement, Honda has revealed plans to withdraw two million of its vehicles from the North American market due to accident risks. Specifically, this recall affects models produced between 2022 and 2025 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as reported by Reuters.
Honda has taken the bold step of removing two million vehicles from the market. The root of the issue lies in the vehicles’ steering system. According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a small spring within the gear mechanism may have been improperly manufactured.
This defect could lead to internal friction within the vehicle, resulting in steering wheel stiffness while driving or even the presence of unusual noises.
Starting in mid-November, Honda will notify affected drivers to bring their vehicles to a dealership for the necessary adjustments recommended by the company.
