What's wrong?
The steering gearbox assembly is the unit that turns steering-wheel movement into movement at the front wheels. Inside it, a worm wheel and worm gear help the electric steering system assist the driver's input, so the wheel turns smoothly without excess effort.
On affected 2022-2026 Honda vehicles, the gearbox was built with springs set too tight and too little grease film between the worm wheel and worm gear. Heat and moisture can also make the worm wheel teeth swell. That raises pressure inside the gear mesh, increases friction, and creates a sticky feel when the steering wheel is turned.
Owners can notice abnormal noise or a momentary sticky feeling while driving and turning the steering wheel. That sticky feeling is the warning sign to take seriously because the steering can become harder to control.
