本田因动力转向系统故障召回 636K Pilot、讴歌 MDX 和 TLX

Honda is recalling 635,808 vehicles over a software issue that could cause a power steering defect. Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that the issue was first reported in November 2021 but that Honda wasn’t able to confirm the cause of the malfunction until years later.

The recall includes 2021–2025 Acura TLX models, 2022–2024 Acura MDX models, and 2023–2025 Honda Pilot SUVs (the 2023 Pilot is pictured above). Honda found that a faulty software configuration could cause the electronic power steering (EPS) system to enter a failsafe mode under certain conditions when the vehicle is driving straight.

Under the failsafe mode, power steering is disabled, making the vehicle much harder to steer, and an EPS warning light appears in the instrument cluster. Honda was unable to replicate and name the issue until December 2025 due to dealers and suppliers deleting the error codes as part of their engine diagnostic process when affected cars were serviced.

Honda has received one injury report related to the defect, as well as 146 warranty claims, as of October 22. Owners of affected vehicles will receive notice in the mail by December 14, and should schedule an appointment with an authorized Honda or Acura dealer for a software update at no cost. In the meantime, owners can check the NHTSA recall website to see if their vehicle is involved.

In true Hoosier fashion, her first car was a hot pink custom cardboard "Fiero-vette" for her kindergarten Kindy 500 race. She now autocrosses a 1994 Miata with her dad, which she learned to drive the night before her first event. Alayna went to Indiana University and graduated with a degree in journalism and a minor in graphic design. As a testament to her great taste in cars, her first real one was a metallic orange 2007 Chevy HHR, which she lovingly called "The Dumptruck."
