Honda recalls new Acura SUVs over loss of power steering

Torrance, CA – September 19, 2025 – Honda (NYSE:HMC), which owns the Acura brand, is recalling 17,334 2025 Acura RDX crossover SUVs whose steering wheel may become hard to turn. This makes maneuvering more difficult, augmenting the chances of a crash.

Recall summary

The affected vehicles feature electronic power steering (EPS) to reduce the effort required to turn the steering wheel. 

Due to a calibration error, the EPS may malfunction, leaving the driver with no power-steering assistance. 

Recall risks

While steering the vehicle without EPS is possible, it would require considerably more effort, upping the risk of a crash.

Other Honda recalls

In December 2025, Honda recalled more than 200,000 vehicles to fix a fuel leak that could have set them on fire

The repair

The dealers will update the EPS software free of charge.   

The owners should receive their notifications by October 20, 2025.
