EPS GEARBOX ISSUE

[PRDE5]

This repair is only paying techs 1.7 on flat rate including an alignment. Doesn’t seem like enough time to me to do this job properly. I’m Not planning on taking my car to do this anytime soon.

does this need to be done if you already had an updated steering rack installed due to the "sticky steering" issue?

More than likely yes.

Having now just looked at the multiple steps necessary to make this technical repair as shown on Acura TSB dated 07/25/24, #24-037, I wish Acura had alternatively opted to supply rebuilt units.
Anybody know length of guarantee on a Recall repair?

Normal warranty parameters apply to all recalls, meaning that if the car is out of factory warranty then there is no additional coverage. The recall is the manufacturer fulfilling their obligation - so to speak - to correct a deficiency, and unless the tech \ shop themselves made an error, it's not something that would guarantee any warranty on that scenario.

I wonder if there have been any examples of a Type S having this steering issue.

14 months of ownership.

No issues with my steering.

14 months of ownership here also, no issues

Wonder if this will also apply in Canada... I hope so, otherwise it'll be at owners expense!

Yes, it applies here as well.

I have had this issue in a minor way. Sometimes a slight extra tug to set the correct direction. I will have this taken care of at my dealer. They are above average. Still somewhat nervous about creating a big problem, fixing a small problem.

Good news - the new fix from Honda does not require removing the steering rack. Much less invasive -

ahh, that looks much better!!
