Massive recall at Honda! Safety risk in over 635,000 vehicles

Honda is recalling 635,808 vehicles in the United States over a defect that can cause a loss of hydraulic steering assist, a condition the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said raises the risk of crashes and injuries. The recall covers a technical fault threatening driving safety, according to the Japanese automaker. The action matters because a sudden loss of power steering assistance can sharply increase steering effort, particularly at low speeds. Watch for Honda's remedy plan and NHTSA's oversight of the fix, including which model years and components are affected.
