Worm Gear Recall Fix Reviews

[cryptolime]

Got it sorted. They had a guy tunnel in to code out the issues remotely. Took a while ?‍? and looks like you’d have to have some dealer level account / access.

hacked your Honda straight from Japan

Let's ask the real question we all want to know.
Was there a tariff fee? ?

I got the letter probably a month after I bought the car but the dealer didn’t have the part, glad that they don’t have it at the time because they messed up my rim putting a tire I don’t want them near my car anymore. But the car has almost 20k miles and I don’t feel anything different on the steering what it’s supposed to be the problem that I should feel or look for?

Two months after the recall procedure on my car, I've noticed the steering looser and skittish when going around bends or sudden movements, like quick overtaking or lane changong. Like an issue with feedback. Taking a bend spiritedly (but not irresponsibly) the car loses grip and steering gets loose, VSA kicks in and the car hooks again. Almost feels like I'm going to lose control. Anyone else experience something similar?

I've contacted my local dealership. Will be taking it back to them to investigate.

So it didn’t do this right away? Wondering what it could be as all they do is grease so not sure how something could get messed up. Sounds terrifying

 

[Hiro-san]

No, according to the service bulletin it wasn't just grease. The entire suspension was dropped and the steering gearbox replaced.

Yeah, its scary. I've lost some confidence in the handling of the car, and that's what it's been lauded for.

oh strange when did you get this done? When this recall happened first it was way more involved, having to drop subframe but then honda came out with a much easier solution, just open up a little port and inject more grease in there. Weird that they did not do this, was there anything else that was happening or you just went in for the recall?

But yeah if they had to do all that then big chance they messed something up, not good.

About two months ago. Our service bulletin in SA was very involved. Car was in for two days. I just went in for the recall and had my first service.

oh you are in SA. Yeah that is crazy, here we are in and out in 45 minutes.

Likely because their steering wheel is on the other side from us.

US?

 

[MooMoo]

US?

yeah good ole USA

If it was not a simple procedure I would not have got it done since my car was totally fine before.

 

[Hiro-san]

Ah. I wish that was the case here. Part of me rues going in for it now. Mine drove fine except for the ticking sound which started to get more audible.

are you talking about the ticking sound when you rotate the wheel? Mine still does this lol. Drives fine though.

Well hopefully they get in there and find the issue and fix it, for all we know its something simple, something got loose in the suspension

 

[Hiro-san]

Yeah lol.

I'm hoping so. Will get on the phone with them tomorrow to take it in but they are already aware, I mentioned it a few weeks ago. Also did realignment to rule that out. Will post feedback here.
