RECALL - Power Steering Joint, 2017-2020 P700, 2016-2020 P1000 EPS Models Only

[HondaTech]

Well I drug my feet all summer and didnt get this recall done and now season is here and I wont have time to leave it at the shop. Hope like hell my bad planning dont leave me stranded this fall

If you were close to us we would do this while you wait.
No dealer should be that busy.

I saw this thread on here but never received a notice from my dealer or Honda about the recall. Does that mean that my 2020 P1K5 isn't affected by this or should I buy the parts anyway ?

I had my joint replacement done earlier this year Honda notified me of the recall on this

guess it depends on your comfort level.
if you follow the PDF and the video you can do a very fast check on your own and then order parts if needed.

I'm not too worried about actually doing the work. I was just wondering if maybe mine wasn't affected by the recall since I hadn't been notified.

Thanks man. I scheduled early summer and at the time they told me if it needed the work it would probably be about a week for parts to come in and I ended up having something come up and had to cancel and just never rescheduled. I will call to see if by chance they have the parts in house and if so will drop it off. Just dont want to get it broke down and need parts and then all of a sudden they be on back order like everything else in the goofy world we are all in right now

We keep atleast 10 joints and 30 bolts/washers in stock at all times.

Any dealer who doesn't stock recall parts, especially for a recall this size is just stupid.

Knuckle, bolts and washers arrived this morning,
Full on OCD reviewing this thread, the PDF and the video for the last 4 weeks!
I was super prepared!

Took me longer to learn how to use my torque wrench than the time it took for me to get the new parts in.

big thank you to all the amazing people that continue to share info here!

Make sure you check this over the next few rides. I used a torque wrench as well, but the spec was near the bottom of the range, which may have affected the accuracy. A ride or two and there was a touch of slop on the splines (may have always been there). After that I said screw the torque wrench and just hit them a regular wrench and some muscle. No more play since.

Update...

My dealer did not keep the parts in (maybe they had the bolts and washers but not fuel pump, not sure on what they had to order), but did tell me last week they would order them and call. Called me on Thursday, I hauled it over Friday morning and it was ready Friday after lunch. Fuel pump and steering recalls checked off.

Gotta give credit to them for following up and doing as they promised. Westside Honda in Evansville IN....good job.

Just found this while seeking information relative to help for my 2016 P1000-5's EPS which without warning quits working as PS occasionally, then just as suddenly begins working again. This can occur as much as miles and days apart, or sometimes within minutes, but most times requires the ignition to be shut off, and let sit for a few minutes before restarting (which does not always work either)...

Plan on pulling the lower bolt for inspection, but thought I'd ask here for any thoughts of what I should be looking for? Thanks.

Whneit stops working are there any lights on the dash that pop up?

Stock tires? Stock Arms?

Thanks for the reply... The vehicle is 100% stock, relative to suspension and steering. Codes: The steering wheel icon illuminates indicating a problem with the steering.

Without pulling codes, it would be hard to tell. But the recall isnt the issue.

Check battery cables first, then see what codes you have.

I tried that initially, but the cables were tight and clean. However, to be sure, I disconnected both batteries, cleaned terminals and checked them at BOTH ends ... ( I did not find any evidence of oxidation, nor looseness) and re-installed the cables. Issue still pops up occasionally.

Don't have a code reader, so I guess the next step is to take it to a dealer to get codes read...

 

[HondaTech]

Codes are readable with the 4 pin red connector under the seat.

Short the Green and Brown/Red wires and turn the key on. Watch the EPS light and itll blink.

Long blinks are 10, short is 1.
So 2 long and 5 short would be code 25.

Thanks for that info. Will futz with it tomorrow... I will search the site to see if there is a code explanation sheet here...

The steering broke on my 2016 Pioneer 1000-3 EPS tonight and after reading this thread, I’m 100% confident this recall is the problem. All I can say is THANK GOD I was going in slow in reverse when the steering gave out!!

The u-joint/knuckle assembly spins freely on the steering shaft!

How do I go about getting this fixed? What should I tell my local dealer? I bought the side x side used from an individual. Should I call Honda first?

THANK YOU to whoever posted this thread, THANK GOD I wasn’t driving and wrecked when the steering broke, and THANK GOD for Hondasxs.com!!!

Any dealer should do this for you no matter where it was bought. A safety recall is a safety recall.

Sometimes dealers are a pita though
