What's wrong, in plain English
Honda says the steering gearbox in these vehicles may not have been manufactured correctly. This defect can create too much internal friction inside the gearbox assembly. That extra friction can make the steering feel harder to turn, so drivers may have more difficulty steering the vehicle than they should. Honda is recalling the vehicles to fix this steering gearbox problem so the issue is corrected properly.
