Honda recalls 635,808 US vehicles over power steering assist software
Honda is recalling 635,808 vehicles in the United States after federal safety regulators identified a software problem that can knock out power steering assist. The campaign covers certain 2021 to 2025 Acura TLX sedans, 2022 to 2024 Acura MDX SUVs and 2023 to 2025 Honda Pilot SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a fault in the electronic power steering software can push the system into a failsafe mode that disables the assist, leaving the vehicle much harder to steer and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the electronic power steering control unit at no charge to owners as the recall remedy. The action is one of the largest US safety campaigns announced this fall and continues a run of big software related recalls across the industry.
