Almost 1.7million vehicles are recalled for this.

[@Thankyou_3]

The reason US vs Canada are different when it comes to recalls, because in US manufacturers will lose their business if they try to take advantage of the public however in Canada, people are blind and manufacturers take full advantage of the consumers and the government is part of this corruption. As for Honda, I have been saying this for the last 15 years…Honda should move all parts suppliers back to Japan to save this brand.

[@friendofvinnie]

YES 👍

[@TYPICALTRYHARD_]

And then people start complaining that their car is more expensive literally no winning

[@Thankyou_3]

@@TYPICALTRYHARD_I rather pay more for a vehicle that last very long compared to going cheap and experience what we have seen with Honda. For this reason alone, I have gravitated towards Toyota/Lexus last 10 years ago. Priced right, parts quality are still good and they last the longest. Last couple of years is a hit and miss with Toyota/Lexus but as a whole for the last 40 years they have been great. If you can get Made in Japan vehicle you are halfway there for longevity. The other half is if you can avoid Turbo engines.

Well I worked for a Japanese supplier company of Honda in North America. Honda even owns 30% of the company. I would say stay the hell away from any Honda or Acura products. They are cheaping out on forgings/raw materials. They have very well established technology and design but they got greedy after 2017 and building cars to meet the warranty.

Honda revised the recall and we got the tools now. And reduced the labour time to 0.5hrs. I just didn't want to make another video on the same recall. I do miss the 1.9hrs it used to pay since we were doing them pretty quick.

I just had this recall done today at the dealership ( Larry H. Miller, Honda of Murray, Salt Lake City, Utah) They recommended an alignment for the price $100.00 which I turned down knowing my vehicle has less than 15k miles. Curious to know about the recall. I found your video. Little did I know they should have done the alignment for me, without charging me for it after this service. Am I correct?

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

The recall includes the alignment. But this recall has been revised and does not require an alignment and can be done without removing the subframe so the suspension does not change. Sounds like that dealership is trying to make a buck off you.

What a stupid ass recall. Did I ever mention all the problems we went through with the second gen Odyssey back in the day with the sliding doors? Oh lemme tell you how many "product revisions" we went through before the powers that be finallly figured out the upper door seals were the problem. When my wife was pregnant with our oldest, she bled heavily about 6 months in. Turns out we had twins, it's called vanished twin syndrome. I'm not kidding. Our oldest was born 6 weeks early. She's almost 28 now and other than scoliosis, no health problems. I hear Linkin Park in the background

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

We have been having the 5th gen snapping sliding door cables, micro switches in the rear latch assembly failing preventing the sliding doors from working that had a recall to replace that rear latch but they still fail. not much has changed. Thanks for your input. Running out of things to listen to at work everyone just picks something to play on my speaker.

[@ozgur.ruzgar]

Is this the reason why the steering wheel gets hard when going fast and makes noise when turning in place? And I don't understand whether the spring should be changed along with the grease. I would be glad if you could help me.

Revised recall now. No longer required to drop sub frame. Honda provided my dealer with special tools. Did a civic earlier today, it paid .6 also congrats!!

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Damn only 0.6? You're in the US? We still have to drop the subframe no revision. Actually the revision is still dropping the subframe as of Oct 7 2024. Here in Canada. I think I would rather take the time for dropping the subframe than get 0.6. lol

Speaking of Hondabond. Do you know if that key is still bonded to the floor at your old shop?

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Lol that key is most likely gone.

[@robski1078]

There are a few other videos where the mechanic is actually syringe applying grease into the smaller second hole where the replaced spring and cap get threaded in with HondaBond. They actually mention the minimum amount of grease required so you have to check the scale on the syringe to make sure you injected enough grease to meet the spec. So are there 2 different recall procedures being given to the Honda/Acura dealerships? There is no syringe grease addition in this particular video.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

You're most likely watching the guys in the USA I am in Canada we didn't get that kind of treatment. Might be revised by the time I get back from my month vacation though.

Japan does NOT use triple square 12 point. They use bi-hex 12 point. DO NOT attempt to tighten Toyota head bolts with trip square. You will strip the head bolts. And a head unevenly torqued until the snap-on truck shows up is now warped.

When turning my wheel at rolling speed or parked i hear what sounds like an old boat creeking, ill hear it when going over a bump at rolling speeds as well. Any idea? 2024 civic hatchback. Dealership said other new cars on the lot have the same sound.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Tough to say without actually hearing it.

[@christiancarl1667]

I had my civic fixed because of sticky steering. It's doing it again so you are correct that the grease will spin out again. Does the accord have a similar part with grease like this? I'm going to trade in my civic but don't want another car that has this greasing issue.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

The new accord doesn't have the recall. Just the high pressure fuel pump recall so far.

[@biggetl1319]

I have a 2024 Accord, and it has a steering problem! Not sure it's the same issue as the re-called Hondas. Mine has a sticky spot when the steering wheel is on center. It makes it hard to keep the car going straight. Eather you are drifting left or right. And of course, the dealer says there is nothing wrong and won't acknowledge that there is a problem.

Is this the reason why the steering wheel gets hard when going fast and makes noise when turning in place? And I don't understand whether the spring should be changed along with the grease. I would be glad if you could help me.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

What I have noticed before replacing the spring and putting new grease. I feel a very slight notchiness when doing small steering input. After the grease and spring there is a noticable smoothness. Not sure if it's the spring or that extra grease we squeeze in. I say squeeze because they revise the recall and got the tool to remove the cap and a syringe to squeeze more grease in without dropping the subframe now.

[@ozgur.ruzgar]

@theoffroadingmechanic Could you please tell me the dimensions of that broadcast? Unfortunately, my vehicle does not have a warranty, I want to do it by watching your video.

@@theoffroadingmechanic Unfortunately, the service voided my warranty because I installed coil suspension on my 2022 model vehicle. They do not accept the steering fault.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

For a 2022 CRV I don't know if this repair applies since it is the previous generation. There was a bulletin for the issue for the some later models but we were replacing the entire steering rack to fix the stiff steering issue some of them were pretty bad at low kms.

[@Bestoftherest222]

Honda is losing my confidence. My new Ridgeline needed a few dealership returns to fix mechanical issues. There is also word the engine might get a major recall soon too. I bought a Honda for its reliability and quality, seems I their aren't what they once were.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

We have had new ridgelines come in for moisture in the headlights, noisy click spring but it's because the steering lock that the clock spring mounts to us off center I have a video on that. Issue with the tailgate and some fit and finish stuff. For the engine recall here in Canada I think they are just rolling out the engine bearing inspection recall. People are holding on to their first gen Ridgeline and many come in with almost half a million kilometers.

[@HiFiInsider]

this is the similar problem with hyundai coupler issue?

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

The Hyundai coupler causes a clunking noise when turning and going over bumps because the rubber bushing in between disintegrates and causes metal on metal contact or slop in the coupler. This recall is for sticking or notchy steering. That will affect your safety system like lane keep assist.

[@HiFiInsider]

@@theoffroadingmechanic ah so this is more critical to have done stat.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Yea I've had back to the 2021 even earlier where the steering is so stiff they don't return back to center but we were replacing the entire steering rack. But I guess it's getting expensive for honda so we are doing this repair now. 😆

I'm glad Kia's/Hyundai's power steering is on the steering column and not on the rack.

[@theoffroadingmechanic]

Kia and Hyundai's power steering motor is mounted to the rebar behind the dash. I have replaced quite a few of them due to the welds on the rebar that the EPS motor mounts too requiring to remove the dash. Had many complaints of a clicking noise when turning the wheel left or right and the amount of torque that motor puts on the mounting points causes it to flex and crack the welds. I use to have videos on it showing the broken welds and how the whole steering column moves when turning the wheel.
