What's wrong, in plain English

Some Honda Civic vehicles that had their power steering rack replaced during an earlier repair may have had the new rack installed incorrectly. This can allow the tire to rub against the lower suspension or the tie rod end, which may damage the tire. A damaged tire can fail while driving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Dealers will inspect the steering rack and replace it if needed, free of charge.
