A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

NHTSA investigations into the 2024 Acura Integra

An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.

Momentary Increased Steering Effort

On November 29, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this Engineering Analysis (EA23003) to assess allegations of momentary increase in steering effort in model years (MY) 2022-2023 Honda Civic, 2023MY Honda CR-V, and 2023MY Acura Integra vehicles (subject vehicles). The complaints received by ODI alleged that the subject vehicles experienced a momentary increase in required steering effort (described as “sticky steering”) occurring mostly at highway speeds after driving for an extended amount of time; these complaints could not be duplicated during dealer service technicians’ qu...

Recalls on the 2024 Acura Integra

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Seats And Restraints

Issue: On a small number of vehicles, the bolts that attach the driver's seat cushion frame may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the bolts could loosen, and the seat could move or detach in a crash. Safety Risk: A seat that moves or detaches could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Action: Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver's seat cushion frame.

Steering

Issue: On certain vehicles, the steering gearbox may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, there could be a sudden change in steering feel and an increase in steering effort. Safety Risk: A sudden change in steering effort could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to add grease to the steering gearbox and replace the electronic power steering spring.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The contact owns a 2024 Acura Integra. The contact stated that after pulling into a self-service car wash vacuum bay, the contact started drying the vehicle. The contact dried both the passenger-side front and rear doors, the trunk and the driver-side rear door. While drying the driver-side front door, the vehicle suddenly moved unintendedly about 15 ft. The contact grabbed the door frame and was eventually able to bring the vehicle to a stop, preventing a crash or injury. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was initially informed that a manufacturer field technician would need to inspect the vehicle; however, the contact was later informed that the manufacturer had sent instructions on how to service the vehicle, which the contact deemed unsatisfactory due to the safety risk. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had previously rolled after being parked and turned off, with the parking brake engaged. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the TPMS reading had failed to display, the collision mitigation braking system had engaged erroneously, and the windows had rolled up and down unintendedly. The contact also stated driving at 5 MPH in a parking lot, an abnormal booming sound emanated from the passenger's side of the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and filed a case. The failure mileage was approximately 4,558.

STEERING

Vehicle: 2024 Acura Integra Affected Component: Steering Gearbox Assembly / Electric Power Steering (EPS) Related Recall: NHTSA Campaign Number 24V-744 / Acura TSB 24-054 Description of Incident: My vehicle is actively experiencing the dangerous "sticky," heavy, and "notchy" steering defect outlined in NHTSA Campaign 24V-744, which causes a sudden increase in steering effort at highway speeds. The authorized franchise dealership previously performed the initial recall remedy (grease/spring kit replacement). However, this remedy completely failed to resolve the underlying manufacturing defect, and the hazardous steering behavior persists, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. Because I live on an isolated island with only one authorized Acura franchise facility, I have no alternative dealership options. The local dealership management and the visiting Acura Field Technical Specialist are formally refusing to diagnose, evaluate, or replace this defective steering rack. They are using the presence of an unrelated, aftermarket air suspension modification—which was installed after the failed recall attempt and does not physically obstruct the steering gearbox assembly—as a pretext to deny federal safety recall resolution and standard warranty repair. The manufacturer is failing to provide a successful remedy for an active, critical safety hazard. Furthermore, the local franchise facility has ordered me to remove this unsafe vehicle from their property, creating a severe safety risk. I am requesting immediate NHTSA intervention to ensure the manufacturer provides a complete and effective steering rack replacement as required by federal law.

STEERING

I purchased this car 2 weeks ago and noticed when I drive over 45 mph the steering wheel kind of freezes up and shakes. A warning sign pops up that say steering required and has a symbol of a steering wheel with hands on each side of it. This lasts for about 10 seconds or so, then goes away. Feels really scary like I could get into an accident. This is the first place I have reported the problem to.

NHTSA complaint #11623216 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

Atlanta, GA

STEERING

The steering on this vehicle began feeling sticky intermittently, not every trip starting 7/31/2024. Since then it has become more and more of an issue. The sticky steering is most noticeable on the interstate when trying to recenter the steering wheel after going around a curve. More so when straightening from a left turn. I had researched, just after leasing the vehicle, and saw this was an issue on 2023 models. Nothing has happened until about 10,000 miles on my odometer. It has become prevalent during every trip taken now, including on secondary roads at lower rates of speed. A service appointment was scheduled with my dealer, a couple of days prior to the recall. I was advised to bring it in, as the recall had not been announced at that time. When I took it in on 10/15/2024, the dealer shared there was nothing they could do at this point, didn’t even inspect it or look at it, as it is too early in the recall and they had not been told how to fix it. They also shared it could be months before something could be done. I am writing to document this issue, should there be an incident, and share that it is a little unnerving to drive a vehicle that could potentially cause an accident and have a dealership say there is nothing they can do and that I should continue driving the vehicle… No lights, warnings, etc have come on in association with this issue.

Sticky steering, when trying to make small adjustments the steering wheel feels locked and takes more of a rotation to get it “unstuck”. This causes me to look like I’m swerving almost just trying to make a small adjustment to the steering wheel.

Delray Beach, FL

STEERING

The steering wheel locks momentarily at cruising speed of 35-45 MPH. This results in the need of over or under compensating the steering with extra effort. The steering is generally locked in the same position and it also frequently moves the direction of the vehicle to the point that I fear this is a severe safety issue.

After driving on longer drives the steering becomes "sticky" off center. Looses its smoothness of operation. Usually does not occur on shorter drives, but, the longer you drive the more prevalent the problem becomes. This is my wife's car and I had not driven it for a while, as I was driving it the problem manifested itself. As soon as I said something to my wife, she said she had noticed it as well. Upon a suggestion from a auto tech friend I turned off all the electronic nannies, but, the problem is still there.
