A recall notice has been issued for nearly 43,000 Honda and Acura vehicles in Canada due to a software problem that could lead to a surprise increase in steering effort.
The recall applies to:
"A software problem in the electronic power steering (EPS) control unit could cause the EPS system to enter a failsafe mode. If this happens, there could be a sudden increase in steering effort," the recall notice said. The notice was first published in October and updated Friday.
The sources warn that a sudden need for steering effort could increase the risk of a crash.
Honda said it will notify owners of affected vehicles by mail and is advising them to take their vehicle to a dealership to receive a software update. Owners can input their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the firm’s website to determine if their particular vehicle is affected. A car’s VIN can be found on the driver’s side door, on the windshield or on the registration, the company advised.
The recall affects nearly 43,000 vehicles in Canada. A software issue in the EPS control unit could cause a sudden increase in steering effort, which may increase crash risk. Honda is offering a free software update at dealerships for affected owners.
