They were dropping the subframe to do the repair but as of last week, that's changed. It's now the same fix that you guys have in the states.

I called today about parts availability - not yet at my dealer, I was told.
It's my wife's car. I drove it today. The steering is very notchy when you first turn it off of center.

I had the recall done last weekend and so far it’s going good. The dealer said they don’t have to drop the subframe, and all their master techs are trained to do the recall so I took the chance with it. It took 40 mins. Last winter I had sticky steering in cold temps and it bothered me. I drove today in 32 F and steering was fine. I’m very pleased so far. Hopefully I’m good going forward. Will report back if anything changes.

Received my recall notice in the mail today. I need to schedule a visit to a dealership. Probably get it done in Ft. Lauderdale. I don't trust Miami techs. LOL!!!

Hi. I just got the worm gear recall performed on my 2024 type r. As soon as I drove away I noticed a big difference in steering. When I now turn the wheel while driving the steering wheel does not return to center. If I let the steering wheel go in the middle of a turn the wheel will stay turned and keep turning. I returned to Honda to tell them about it and the said it was installed correctly. I don’t know if it is because of a weaker return spring or if it was performed incorrectly. Looking for input from those who had it done. Feels completely different and not right.

Yes I did right after and the said they checked it and it was performed correctly. Going to call corporate and see what they say. Also was hoping someone here had some experience getting it done on their Type R

My car is garaged for now (at least until there’s no more salt on the roads), but I don’t recall anything being “off” after having my steering fixed. If anything, the steering feel is more consistent than before. Note that mine was fixed by a Honda Master Tech.

Same here, master mechanic my buddy at the dealer, and no issues what so ever. Still driving it on the road in the cold as well. I've put 1,660 miles on it since.

I made an appointment with them again. Rethinking having them do it. They are a new Honda dealer and there is another one in the Des Moines area more established.

show me them the steering wheel not returning to center. it's a pretty obvious symptom. you might've just caught a tech on a bad day. go back and make them drive with you.
