Right? My dealer has been good to me and is taking it seriously but this is why I avoid them if I can and further reinforces my feelings. Supposedly they can have a new rack in tomorrow if it’s needed but we’ll see. I’ll update as I go along this arduous process. Sending you good luck and...

EXACT Same scenario on my end. I encountered one or two posts somewhere on here stating that all other Hondas get the recall and that’s it. But apparently the type R must have the recall done in a new steering rack put in. The only explanation I can come up with currently is that the tech...

Sounds awful. Wishing you luck today, keep me posted on how things go please, friend.

same, :/

foreman took me under the car, had me place my hands on the tie rod as he moved the wheel left and right and it wiggled the same amount and made nearly the same sound.

I can’t as I left the car and took a loaner. But I went through your profile and found your video, it’s the same sound. Wasn’t there before the recall, and steering feel is really vague.

I thought about asking that as well but I doubt it due to “legal / lability reasons”; I’m really struggling to figure out how this recall broke the steering rack essentially. the only reason I did the recall was I believed I experienced some jolting at the wheel last weekend over choppy...

I feel like I can hear it when going over bumps as well, I’m not sure how that is not an issue, so forgive my ignorance. I did not have this issue or the noise before doing the work gear recall, and now I’m starting to regret doing it to begin with.

what I can tell you is that when we went in the shop and went under the car he had me place my hands on the tie rods while he moved the wheels left to right. They shifted about 1 inch in either direction making the same noise I heard when shifting the sheeting wheel left to right in the cabin.

Yours has 70k on it? That’s impressive. What’s your play here? I’m not by any mean a mechanic but I’m trying to figure whats the best move here so I’m gathering a lot of opinions and asking other people their experiences. Unrelated but it looks as though you’re not far from me, so hey neighbor :)

Update: took the car back this morning, shop foreman took me under the car and showed me play in, you guessed it, the steering rack. It’s up on the lift until it can be further looked at on Monday. I’m pretty disappointed that the car seems fine in this area before the recall, now it’s having...

I’m in the game now too, took it in for the damn recall and a day later I’ve got a clunk while in the parking lot. 😒 this is while I swear I hate dealers.

Checking in here from the triad area, NC. Looking for more type R’s to meet and hang with.

First car I ever legally drove was my Mom's Honda Civic, go figure. After that I went to a 2011 Camaro RS, jumped into a 2012 Wrangler for 7 years and loved every moment, sold it to buy a 2021 full sized Ford Bronco, now here I am in the Type R. The Type R and Wrangler are the best vehicles...

I've just accepted this sound at this point, no real bother to me (and I'm someone who is incredibly sensitive to small rattles and sounds) and I've accepted that its the way the car is. Rather not have a dealer pull it off, fuck something up, give the car back and it's still happening.
