Honda has had to recall over 21,000 cars with a pair of recalls issued on Thursday 7 November.
The first recall affects 16,001 2021-2024 Honda 24YM CR-V, 22YM – 24YM Civic, 24YM Civic Type R and 23YM-24YM ZR-V cars.
The worm wheel grease may be displaced over time. If this occurs, the Electronic Power Steering system (EPS) may not operate as intended. This may result in abnormal steering noise and greater steering effort.
A greater steering effort could increase the risk of an accident-causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
When parts are available, owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Honda Australia. Owners of affected vehicles should then contact their preferred Authorised Honda Service Centre to make a booking to have the EPS repaired, free of charge.
The second recall affects 5362 2022-2024 Honda 24YM Accord Hybrid, 24YM CR-V Hybrid, 23YM – 24YM Civic Hybrid and 23YM-24YM ZRV Hybrid cars.
Due to a manufacturing defect, the high-pressure fuel pump solenoid valve may develop cracks. If this occurs, fuel may leak and in the presence of an external ignition source, could result in a vehicle fire.
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted in writing by Honda Australia and can then contact their preferred Authorised Honda Service Centre to make a booking to have the high-pressure fuel pump inspected and, if necessary, replaced free of charge.
