Honda Pilot & Acura MDX/TLX Power Steering Defect

Scott Hirsch Law Group PLLC is currently investigating the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot, 2022-2024 Acura MDX, and 2021-2025 Acura TLX for issues relating to Sudden Loss of Power Steering Assist. Honda has recalled more than 635,000 of these vehicles because faulty electric power steering software can shut off steering assist while the vehicle is being driven.

Owners Report Steering Suddenly Becoming Heavy While Driving

Honda Pilot and Acura MDX and TLX owners report that their steering suddenly becomes heavy and hard to turn while driving straight, with power steering warning lights appearing on the dashboard. According to Honda, an error in the steering software can trigger a failsafe mode that disables power steering assist entirely, making the vehicle harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash. Honda has received 146 warranty claims and at least one injury report related to this issue.

Honda Fails To Remedy

Many owners experienced this problem for years before Honda took action, with the first reports dating back to 2021. Owners who brought their vehicles to dealerships may have been told no problem could be found, as Honda acknowledges that error codes were deleted and returned parts showed no issues. Although Honda has now announced a recall, the fix is a software update and owners are not expected to receive notice until mid-December, leaving many drivers on the road without a remedy in the meantime.
