| Investigations Summary: | The office of defects investigation (odi) has received 145 complaints and several early warning reporting (ewr) field reports alleging a momentary increase in steering effort in model year (my) 2022 and 2023 Honda civic vehicles. The complaints report that the momentary increase in steering effort (described as ?"sticky steering") occurs mostly at highway speeds after driving for a certain amount of time. The reports have been received over the past 11 months with most occurring with low vehicle mileage. A momentary increase in steering effort may result in overcorrection or inability to avoid a road hazard. This could lead to an increased potential for a collision. Odi is opening this preliminary evaluation (pe) to determine the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues. The odi reports cited above are available to review online at NHTSA.
