Honda Malaysia Product Recall – 36K Units of Civic, Civic Type R & CR-V Affected

Honda Malaysia has issued a proactive product update involving approximately 36,000 units of the Civic, Civic Type R, & CR-V.

Honda Malaysia today issued a proactive product update involving approximately 36,000 units of the Civic, Civic Type R, and CR-V. This activity is to update the Electric Power Steering (EPS) gearbox for Civic Year Model 2022-2024, Civic Type R Year Model 2023-2024, and CR-V Year Model 2024.

Part of the reasons for this product recall notice is due to the issues found inside the EPS, where its gearbox worm wheel may swell and reduce grease film thickness, causing abnormal steering noise or sticky steering.

In its official statement, the company stated that all affected customers will be informed via notification letters, which will include details of the product update. Honda Malaysia also advised all customers involved in this update to contact any Honda authorised dealer to make an appointment upon receiving the notification to have their vehicles inspected and/or repaired if required.

Additionally, Honda Malaysia will bear all the cost of inspection, repair, or replacement of the affected parts in this activity. The replacement stock will be available in stages starting from Dec 2024 onwards.

Besides these three affected models, the automaker ensures that other current production and selling models are not affected by this product update.
