IllustrationAfter driving for a few minutes, the steering wheel will require additional effort to steer or keep the car centered in the lane followed by a sudden return to the normal level of effort. This can cause a over correction.

My Integra is doing what others have dubbed "sticky steering". About a month ago, I noticed the steering wasn't smooth and felt like it wasn't going to turn (tho it HAS always turned) it just feels like it's sticking. It gets worse sometimes and then I turn the wheel back and forth (once turned off) and it seems to help some, but it comes back happening again where it feels like it sticks. This should definitely be looked into because the feeling when it feels like it's stuck is not good and causes a bit of panic, even though like I said, so far, it has always turned. It's not smooth. There is definitely something wrong. And I see that others are having this same issue. Below details are an estimate. It's not something that happened just once, it's ongoing. But I'll note an approximate date when it started.
Steering progressively gets sticky and hard to move back to center when speeds are 45 and up. Usually will occur after some highway/higher speed driving.

Steering progressively gets sticky and hard to move back to center when speeds are 45 and up. Usually will occur after some highway/higher speed driving. During turns the car will fight minimal adjustments the driver will try and make as well as trying to keep the car centered in a lane. With lane keep assist fully off and on the results are similar.
Sticky steering wheel occurs while driving on the highway, requiring a momentary increase in steering effort to unstick the wheel. Began yesterday 11/30/2023 at around 5,200 miles. Same exact symptoms that are described in Investigation EA23003 for the Honda Civic, Honda CRV, and 2023MY Acura Integra. I have an appointment sc…

Sticky steering wheel occurs while driving on the highway, requiring a momentary increase in steering effort to unstick the wheel. Began yesterday 11/30/2023 at around 5,200 miles. Same exact symptoms that are described in Investigation EA23003 for the Honda Civic, Honda CRV, and 2023MY Acura Integra. I have an appointment scheduled with my Acura dealer service department for 12/5/2023 to look at the problem.
At higher speeds (i.e. 45+ mph) steering wheel feels 'sticky' when driving in a straight line.

At higher speeds (i.e. 45+ mph) steering wheel feels 'sticky' when driving in a straight line. When driving like this and when I need to adjust the direction a little, the wheel feels stuck in the existing position (i.e. it resists movement) and only after pulling harder on it will it move - and when it moves it moves too much, so car looks like it is weaving around when simply trying to go in a straight line. After moving the steering wheel it loosens up and is OK, but then after going straight again for a few seconds, it gets sticky again. It does not happen all of the time, but seems to happen 70-80% of the time (so far). It is very dangerous, especially at high speeds.
La columna de dirección se queda como bloqueada y para realizar pequeñas correcciones cuando vas en la autopista debes aplicar un poco más de fuerza y esto hace que el carro se sienta inestable para conducir ya que debes sobre corregir para mantener el carro en el carril. Esta situación está muy peligrosa.
At highway speeds and for most speeds after driving at highway speeds, the steering will “stick”. The steering sticks in the center and slightly to the left when making slight left turns and take more than minimal effort to return the steering to center.

At highway speeds and for most speeds after driving at highway speeds, the steering will “stick”. The steering sticks in the center and slightly to the left when making slight left turns and take more than minimal effort to return the steering to center. Additionally, any small correction that need to be made while driving are made to be more difficult because of the sticky steering. Around town and on more aggressive turns, the steering is more normal. Issue has been consistent for several months. Appointment scheduled with dealer for 10/26/2023
Steering wheel is jerking/sticking and making it necessary to have to make steering adjustment and making the car swerve while driving. This seems to be a common occurrence on comparable Honda Civic models as well. This vehicle only has 2,800 miles on it.
Steering is notchy/sticky when turning. Has slight grab then it releases. Very subtle but forums say it is a potential recall.

1EA23003 · Momentary Increased Steering Effort
Opened Nov 29, 2023 · Closed Jan 28, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Steering
On November 29, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Engineering Analysis (EA23003) to assess allegations of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023MY Honda CR-V, and 2023MY Acura Integra vehicles (subject vehicles). The complaints received by ODI alleged that the subject vehicles experienced a momentary increase in required steering effort (described as “sticky steering”) occurring mostly at highway speeds after driving for an extended amount of time; these complaints could not be duplicated during dealer service technicians’ quick test drives. The complaints had been received over the previous two years with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. The steering gear of these vehicles is aided by an electrical power assist unit. This power assist unit inputs force on the steering rack via a worm gear and worm wheel assembly. During PE23005, Honda stated this condition of momentary increase in steering effort occurs due to two factors within this power assist unit. First, during manufacturing, the steering worm wheel goes through annealing and component conditioning processes. These processes cause internal stress and strain within the steering worm wheel. This strain is slowly released over the first few months of the vehicle life. Over time, the released strain causes deformation of the teeth on the worm wheel, causing the worm gear to catch on the worm wheel. This catching results in the driver’s momentary increased steering effort. Second, the manufacturing process did not guarantee consistent grease application and, therefore, some subject vehicles received insufficient grease which contributed to the momentary increase in steering effort. During EA23003, ODI further analyzed the potential safety related consequences of the momentary increase in steering effort. NHTSA’s Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC) duplicated the allegations of increased steering effort. In addition, VRTC discovered the steering worm wheel and worm gear tended to push grease out of the meshing area, resulting in large amounts of grease resting on top of the worm wheel. Information Request responses collected and reviewed by ODI showed Honda had also discovered this additional root cause during NHTSA’s EA. In addition, Honda discovered the preload of the worm wheel gear spring was set too high, increasing the gear slide load and resulting in higher friction and increased torque fluctuation when steering. The number of consumer complaints made to ODI continued to increase with the expansion of scope from the PE to the EA. Additionally, during EA23003, ODI received ten complaints alleging a crash, in addition to the 13 complaints ODI had received as of the time it opened EA23003. In total, 23 crashes have been reported to ODI due to this alleged defect. On October 3, 2024, Honda filed NHTSA Recall No. 24V-744 to address this defect. The recall will provide consumers with a new steering worm wheel gear spring with a decreased load. Additionally, dealerships will add additional grease and relocate any grease sitting on top of the worm wheel back into the meshing area. The scope of this recall includes all Honda vehicles that were manufactured with this specific improperly produced steering worm wheel and spring. In view of the recall action being taken by Honda, ODI is closing EA23003. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
