Potential Automotive Class Proceeding Under Investigation: Honda Sticky Steering Issue (Main)

Our firm is currently investigating a potential multi-jurisdictional (Canada-wide) class proceeding in British Columbia concerning certain Acura and Honda vehicles and reported issues affecting the steering system, commonly described as sticky or stiff steering.

We have received reports from owners indicating that their vehicles may experience inconsistent steering response, delayed return of the steering wheel, or unusual stiffness, which could affect handling and driver control.

Our investigation focuses on concerns relating to the steering system’s design and performance, including potential defects in components such as the steering rack, intermediate shafts, or column mechanisms that may contribute to sticky steering.

It is our preliminary understanding that some dealer service measures or software updates have been proposed by Honda to address the issue. Based on available information, these remedies may not fully resolve the underlying mechanical problem affecting the steering system.

While no Notice of Civil Claim has been filed and no class proceeding has been certified, our preliminary assessment is that these reported issues may warrant a class proceeding under British Columbia’s Class Proceedings Act, and we are investigating whether affected vehicles may require repair or replacement of defective components to provide a complete and durable resolution.

This investigation is ongoing and is being conducted to determine whether the legal requirements under British Columbia’s Class Proceedings Act are met, including whether common issues exist and whether a class proceeding would be the preferable procedure.

If you own or lease an affected Acura or Honda vehicle and have experienced sticky, stiff, or delayed steering, you may contact our firm to share your experience. Providing information is confidential, free of charge, and does not obligate you to retain our firm or participate in any legal proceeding.

The investigation focuses on potential defects in steering system components, including the steering rack, intermediate shafts, or column mechanisms.

Affected models include:

• Acura Integra – 2023, 2024, 2025

Has a class proceeding been filed?

No. At this stage, our firm is only conducting a preliminary investigation. No Notice of Civil Claim has been filed and no class proceeding has been certified in British Columbia.

What does “certification” mean?

Certification is a procedural step where the Supreme Court of British Columbia decides whether a lawsuit may proceed as a class proceeding. Certification addresses procedural issues such as commonality of claims and whether a class proceeding is the preferable method to resolve them. It does not decide liability or damages.

Who could be included if a class proceeding is filed?

If a class proceeding is ultimately filed and certified, the court will define the “class,” typically based on factors such as vehicle model, model year, geographic location, and the nature of the defect. This definition has not yet been determined.

What remedy is being proposed by Honda?

Based on reports, Honda may offer dealer service repairs or software updates to address the sticky steering issue. Our preliminary assessment is that these remedies may not fully resolve the underlying mechanical problem affecting the steering system.

Is component replacement the only solution?

We are investigating whether replacement or repair of affected steering components may be required to fully address the issue. No conclusions have been reached at this stage.

How can I provide information to the firm?

If you own or lease an affected Acura or Honda vehicle and have experienced sticky, stiff, or delayed steering, you may contact our firm to share your experience. This is confidential, free of charge, and does not obligate you to participate in any legal proceeding or retain our firm.

Will I automatically be part of a class proceeding if one is certified?

Individuals who fall within the class definition are typically included automatically unless they choose to opt out, subject to the court’s order.
