From the article:

"American Honda is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer for repair as soon as they receive notification," Honda said Wednesday.

The affected 2022-2025 Honda Civic Sedan, 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan, 2022-2025 Honda Civic Hatchback, 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Hatchback, 2023-2025 Honda Civic Type R, 2023-2025 Honda CR-V, 2023-2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid, 2025 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell, 2023-2025 Honda HR-V, 2023-2025 Acura Integra and 2024-2025 Acura Integra Type S vehicles might have an "improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel," the automaker warned.

There is also a class action lawsuit area I think may be related to that matter. There may be others located in areas of the internet:

Honda class action claims vehicles with EPS steering systems can unexpectedly lose maneuverability

From their site:

"Who: Plaintiffs Jordan Burgos, Brian Daniels and Jose Tejada filed a class action lawsuit against American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Why: Model year 2022 and 2023 Honda Civics allegedly have a steering defect that causes drivers to unexpectedly lose steering control and maneuverability."

Electric steering i would think.

But they do want people to come in to the dealership and that's when they try to get you into a deal with a New car !

Electric steering i would think.

But they do want people to come in to the dealership and that's when they try to get you into a deal with a New car !

I think when I read the description it was confusing about the mechanical issue, and I seem to remember fluids breaking down and causing steering lock issues. The report from the news didn't cover the idea that it could suddenly and without warning lock up, which has a probability to happen at higher speeds during freeway and highway travel. Which is a serious risk to health and life.

But you should read the entire report to get clear and correct information on the subject. I did provide at least one class action lawsuit which apparently had witness accounts of failure. And that appeared to describe a different danger then the manufacture report of malfunction.
