Model-year records

What the 2024 record can and cannot say

The 2024 record contains 136 submitted complaints, about 222 reports below the median complaint count in these records. Report volume is not a failure probability because vehicle age and sales exposure differ.

Steering leads the displayed component tags with 71 reports, accounting for 52.2% of this year's submitted complaints. Use that signal to inspect coverage wording, not to predict the next repair.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has a midpoint parts estimate of $7,000, before local labor. A service contract can help pay that cost only if both the part and the cause of failure qualify.

Official safety recall2022, 2023, 2024, 2025Campaign 24V744000

Steering control may be reduced

The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle.

NHTSA campaign 24V744000 includes certain 2022 to 2025 Honda Civic vehicles. Honda (American Honda Motor Co). is recalling certain 2023-2025 Acura Integra, Civic Type R, CR-V Hybrid, CR-V, HR-V, 2022-2025 Civic, Civic Hatchback, 2024-2025 Acura Integra Type S, 2025 CR-V Fuel Cell EV, Civic Hybrid, and Civic Hatchback Hybrid vehicles. Difficulty steering can increase the risk of a crash.

Symptoms to compare
  • Steering effort, response or control may change, sometimes with a warning message
  • An open campaign appears when the complete VIN is checked
  • Some recalled vehicles may show no advance warning before the component fails

Other ways owners describe it: steering suddenly feels heavy; power steering stopped working; wheel is hard to turn; steering warning light; car pulls while steering; loss of steering assist.

Which vehicles the source covers
  • 2022 to 2025 Honda Civic
  • NHTSA campaign 24V744000
  • The manufacturer filing lists 1,693,199 potentially affected units across the complete campaign.
  • VIN eligibility determines whether this recall applies to an individual vehicle

Safety recall eligibility is based on the VIN and campaign scope, not ordinary warranty mileage. Check the complete VIN even when the vehicle is outside its original warranty.

Limit: Do not buy parts from the campaign description alone. VIN scope, superseded remedies and parts availability can change.

Check the complete VIN before arranging workBasic check · 5 minutes

Enter the 17-character VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup and ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to confirm whether the campaign is open for this vehicle.

Limit: A year, make and model match does not prove that every vehicle is included. The VIN result controls eligibility.

Evidence for this issue
  • 24V744000: Official campaign record for Honda Civic

    NHTSA safety recall · Oct 3, 2024

    NHTSA campaign data lists the defect, safety consequence and manufacturer remedy. The manufacturer filing lists 1,693,199 potentially affected units across the complete campaign.

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

Keep a current problem separate from future coverage

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

Prepare a useful description for the mechanic →

Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.
