Seats:critical fasteners

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, Civic Sedan, Civic Hatchback, Pilot, and 2024 HR-V, Acura Integra and Acura Integra Type S vehicles. The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, which can result in an unsecured seat. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems."

An unsecured driver's seat may not adequately restrain the driver during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Steering:rack and pinion

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Civic 4-door and Civic 5-door vehicles that received a replacement power steering rack as part of a service repair. The steering rack may have been incorrectly assembled, which can allow the tire to chafe against the lower suspension or tie rod end, possibly resulting in tire damage.

A damaged tire can fail and increase the risk of a crash or injury.

In owners’ own words

Steering mileage not reported 2 mo in service
Civic has just over 5500 miles on it and now traveling at highway speeds in a straight line it is difficult to move the steering wheel and it feels like it is stuck in a rut and requires a tug to get the wheel to turn. This happens at 50+ mph speed and I have tried it with road departure and lane keep off and it still happens. It you keep moving the wheel slightly it won’t do it but when trying to turn slightly after traveling straight for a while it occurs.

Steering wheel is sticking, when wheel is turned from a stationary position. Most noticeably at highway speeds while making slight steering corrections to maintain lane. Dealer claims to not be able to replicate issue.

Reading on honda forums explaining how a faulty steering rack issue with this 11th gen sedan model causes damage to the tire and increasing the probability of a crash. My steering wheel started wobbling at about 25 mph with the lane assist activated. And stopped after I had it turned off Car has only 230 miles on it, and recall wasnt explained by the dealer.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 7 mo in service
We were driving to northern Minnesota on the freeway. There were no vehicles in front of mine in either lane. The automatic braking system engaged and the vehicle almost came to a stop on the freeway before it disengaged. Approximately 1 hour later it happened again. If there had been a vehicle behind us in either instance there would have been a serious problem. Today pulling into the garage the same thing happened as I was halfway to parking. I am going to disable the feature.
