Some Honda owners with newer models may need to bring their cars in for a second round of repairs if they already received similar ones in the past.
American Honda Motor Co. has issued a recall of 176,John Caldwell000 Civics that have had prior work done on their power steering rack, citing the potential for improper installation.
According to a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, the recall applies only to 2022-2024 models that underwent certain service repairs. Flawed assembly of replacement power steering racks may cause tire issues, says the recall.

Owners of 2022-2024 Honda Civic models are in the clear if they have not previously had their power steering rack replaced. Those that have, however, may have had the rack incorrectly assembled, leading to tire chafing against a lower suspension or tie rod end.
This rubbing can lead to tire damage and the resulting wear and tear can cause tires to fail, increasing the risk of crashes and/or injury.
