Model-year records

What the 2025 record can and cannot say

The 2025 record contains 42 submitted complaints, about 65 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 13 reports, accounting for 31% 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.

Steering & suspension

Official safety recall2023, 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 2023 to 2025 Honda HR-V 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
  • 2023 to 2025 Honda HR-V
  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

What can the data tell you about 2025 Honda HR-V?

No model-specific individual-repair price keys are retained for Honda HR-V in this library. Generic parts and labor estimates, public records and separate annual cost references may still be available.

Individual-repair price scopeGeneric inputs

Model-level range presence is a source-coverage check. It does not confirm that a repair fits every engine or model year.

EPA configuration match2 source rows

This model year can include different equipment. Use the VIN and original specifications to identify the actual configuration.

Documented repair pathsCheck the source

Recall and communication counts describe records. They cannot establish a breakdown probability or current VIN status.

Price-key audit reviewed October 12, 2026; EPA source snapshot 2026-08-07. Individual-repair ranges and annual repair-budget references are different datasets.

Cost-library audit

The evidence behind a repair estimate

In our 44-category library, 24 categories have attached published benchmarks and 20 use planning assumptions. The audit separates the appearance of a precise total from the strength and scope of its inputs.

Campaign-reference audit

In the selected collection, 1,186 files with extractable identifiers refer to 771 distinct campaign IDs. The difference is a counting-unit issue, not evidence of additional unique recalls or a vehicle's failure risk.

Sources and methods

What each source tells you

NHTSA records: 42 submitted complaints, 1 recalls and 28 manufacturer communications. These are report counts, not failure probabilities.

EPA vehicle details: 2 matched fuel-economy configurations help us leave out repairs for equipment this model year does not have.

Repair-cost estimates: We model 31 applicable repairs beyond normal wear items, using published benchmarks where available plus parts and independent-shop labor assumptions. These ranges are not dealer quotes, repair-shop quotes or invoices.
