New CRV rack issue.

Iirc someone here already log report but get push said still got manufacturers warranty

I did and kpdn ask me go back for warranty 😀

If anyone is interested to know, just received the email from Honda for Connect renewal. It’s RM149 for 1 year and RM329 for 2 years - Both early bird pricing

They just take the original amount and discount RM50 for both packages.

So if you take 1 year, very good discount however you run the risk of no discount offer on the 2nd year, then it will be 149+199= RM348 for 2 years.
Then again if you get a discount offer on the 2nd year, then the 2 years package is not that good.

If you take 2 years package, you get peace of mind for 2nd year, no need look to see got 2nd year offer or not.

I am not fully qualified to dissect this issue. But my questions remain.
1. Why need two updates or recalls on the same issue?
- why the first time they blame improperly built steering gearbox, replaced our gearboxes with supposedly properly made ones, and now they say the worm wheel deform?
2. I can sort of understand stress and strain can deform the plastic worm wheel until the gear pitch goes out of whack and thins out the grease film.
2.1 but the solution being put more grease, can it actually last? Wouldn’t the poor meshing between the worm wheel and worm gear which are two rigid pieces be there regardless of grease fluid surrounding nearby, and still reject the coverage of grease? In other words if you have poor gear mesh, no amount of grease will solve your problem. Perhaps skeptically speaking will the grease push away anyway.

So we drill down to the 3rd why, why is the worm wheel deformed in the first place? Why isn’t it being replaced with the properly made one? Or is the design + material simply unable to last the load being applied ?

Indeed time will tell, but they have messed around with us too long and too much. Didn’t address the what if. What if a few months still problem. Why didn’t detect this during RnD and testing. Why design not fix?

It’s like we are beta testing for civic FG.
