Known issues for this generation

NHTSA safety recall 24V-744 covers 2023-2025 HR-V vehicles as part of a 1,693,199-vehicle campaign that also includes the Civic, CR-V, and Acura Integra; that total is every vehicle in the campaign, not the HR-V alone. The defect is in the steering gearbox: an improperly manufactured worm wheel in the electric power steering gearbox swells during use and, combined with an improperly high worm-gear spring preload, increases friction between the two parts, which can make the steering feel sticky or require more effort and increases the risk of a crash. NHTSA opened a preliminary evaluation in March 2023, upgraded it to an engineering analysis in November 2023, and Honda had logged 10,328 related warranty claims by September 2024 when it filed the recall. The remedy replaces the gearbox's spring, spring seat, and end cap, and redistributes grease to the worm gear.
