Showing safety data for the 2025 model year only.
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. The steering gearbox assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause excessive internal friction and lead to difficulty steering the vehicle.
Often while driving and turning the steering wheel the steering wheel will get stuck or start to bind and I will have to apply some force to get it unstuck. Sometimes it is worse than others and can get to the point where I can turn the wheel to go around a turn and I can let go and the steering wheel stays stuck in that same position. No warning or failure notifications from the car. I took it to the dealer to be repaired under warranty. They replicated the issue and replaced the electronic steering rack.

The sets does not recline so a newborns head is bent forward the entire time causing a risk of death by cutting airway/ circulation. It did not happen but I cannot use the car seat. It doesn’t recline back to make newborn comfortable.

Incident occurred on 9/17/26 while driving at highway speed. When taking a left hand curve steering wheel feels sticky and bumps while going around curve. No issues noted when taking a right hand curve. No issue when making a hard (90 degree) left hand or right hand turn and no issues noted with slight curves in road. Only noticed while in significant left hand curves at speeds of 35-65mph. In addition, while driving straight, steering wheel intermittently ticks with no change in direction of vehicle. Car is scheduled for diagnostics on Monday, 9/21/26. Car will not be driven outside of taking it to the dealership on 9/21 due to feeling unsafe while taking left hand curves. This is the second time the vehicle will be looked at for the steering wheel ticking while driving straight. The first event occurred 12/10/25 at 12,997 miles. The dealer was unable to reproduce the problem.

2025 Acura Integra A Spec- I have driven the car around 12,000 miles total and recently have been noticing the steering wheel is “sticking” intermittently. Very dangerous especially because it’s more likely to happen on the highway on long gradual turns

While approaching a slowing car on the offramp, the Acura's automatic braking slammed on the brakes abruptly while flashing "Brake" on the dash. The car stopped well short of the car in front. This abrupt, uncommanded stopping resulted in a near miss whereby the driver behind my car nearly hit me. In addition to stopping sooner than required, and thus giving the driver behind me less chance to react, the system did not apply full braking force, but more like 90-95% of maximum braking force. This is an example of Schroedinger's automatic emergency braking, where a situation is simultaneously "unavoidable" such that the car intervenes, yet not dire enough to apply full braking. This car will stop from 60mph in less than 110 feet, but the system appears to be calibrated for a much lower performance car with tires made of wood, such as an A-Spec or Technology Package Acura. This car has had previous incidents of defective automatic braking at low speeds, however with nobody behind me these did not result in a near miss. During the 20 months that I have owned the car it has slammed the brakes while pulling into my garage as well. For some inexplicable reason, Acura's calibration engineers think that I am going to drive through my water heater and furnace after 25 years of driving with no accidents. Due to these previous incidents, I had adjusted the "distance" parameter for the AEB to the shortest allowable, but it still activates unnecessarily. While this low speed braking defect will not cause a serious injury or fatality, it is yet another example of the poor execution that plagues this car. In summary, the automatic braking system on this car is dangerous and unusual, and is mis-calibrated considering the performance capability of the car.
