Well FYI this is recall no. 2 for civic steering rack for the exact same issue.
Sceptically speaking the point would be to shut the customer from crying father mother and drag until warranty over.
Remember the corrective action right now is just add more grease and change a tiny spring (which they didn’t even state will be a new design / spec).
Had they really fixed things they will have a conscience and recall also FC Civic because that model has the exact same problem too, and their owners have been suffering through the whole time by changing countless steering racks.

It is going to be an improved part, FYI.

I had checked the my 2024 CRV on Honda recallproduct page. It stated need 1 product update steering kit.
So far no problem with the car.
Should the car be left alone? I am worry if nothing wrong then they open up become something wrong.

They'll inspect it as part of the recall, and if nothing is wrong they won't do anything about it. The recall announcement mentioned something like "inspection and/or replacement as needed".

lets update each other once we go through the recall and if any work or no work is done.

I have been waiting for 2 or 3 months for spare parts.

You still drive your G6?

If can, would like to wait until service time. Dont want to go and wait 2 times.

Yeah same thought

But usually do my service on saturday or sunday, hopefully the recall can do weekend also

Change steering gearbox is a 1 full day affair....but coincide with your oil change is a good idea. However Honda malaysia being the stingy OEM will want to do inspection first, see if you actually have sticky steering, then service center write up your claim, wait for review and approval and THEN order spare part. For civic the spare part is actually 2 months lead time.

So you need to choose which one coincide with your oil change, the inspection day or the replacement day. The inspection / diagnosis is about 2 hours.

This usually depends on SC. My past experiences, Global Amity Bangi, 4S Sg Long Kajang and New Era Kajang great to customer for warranty claim without any much question asked.

However, one SC in PJ and another in Setia Alam, very lazy when comes to warranty claim, everything taici said cant claim, cannot request for warranty check but ok if normal paid service. Worst one is the SC in Semenyih, even driveshaft leaking oil said it is expected and normal by their SC manager

The process does not change, all service centers must write and file report and then Honda Malaysia review and approve. Cannot be instant and cannot be guarantee approve. Your experience may also relate to the actual issue, perhaps your negative experience also due to the issue difficult to get clear cut Honda approval- which is another separate discussion.
End of the day with H perhaps it’s not easy.

The G6 CRV horn sound like what? Not like those G5 sounded like BM horns?

its like Myvi / Perodua horn,, but lounder

in the US,, first mode most G6 owner do is change to different horn

Nope, macam axia lvl of horn. When honking the car infront didnt even noticed

Honda Sri Utama (setapak) and Autoworld (sg buloh) also is good at entertaining warranty claim.

My friend keen to buy V or RS specs. SA advised him for the E specs. Better discount and free service …. Anyone also the same?

Lots of leftover stocks from the lower end variants so they’re trying hard to clear those stocks. I would recommend staying with V or RS. Personally, the 360 camera is worth it and if getting V the AWD is a big bonus, whereas RS refinement needs no introduction (I think most showrooms demo unit are RS models).

I do like the 360 camera but the 5 gen AWD I once tried has unacceptable poor pickup. May be that unit has problem, I wouldn't know.

For that reason alone, I went for E spec.

Yes.
