While driving, the steering wheel suddenly and unexpectedly locks up, making it nearly impossible to steer. This has occurred more than three times recently, with increasing frequency.  Key Safety Concerns: \u2022Sudden Loss of Control: The steering becomes rigid without warning, creating an immediate risk of a crash. This has occurred during each of my last three trips. \u2022Lack of Manufacturer Notification: According to official NHTSA Recall 24V-744, the \"sticky steering\" gearbox recall includes certain 2022\u20132025 Honda models. However, I never received a recall notice for my vehicle. \u2022Contradictory Information: My research confirms that the 2022 model year and the HR-V model are specifically named in the broad recall for this steering gearbox defect. Despite my vehicle exhibiting the exact \"sticky\" and locking behavior identified in the recall, I have not been contacted by Honda for the free repair. \u2022Manufacturer Acknowledgment: Both my local dealer and Honda corporate have confirmed that 2023 and newer models are being recalled, yet my 2022 model\u2014built within the same production window and using the same faulty supplier parts\u2014is not being prioritized for service.  Request for Action: I request that NHTSA investigate why 2022 HR-V models experiencing these dangerous failures were not included in the primary notification mailing. I urge NHTSA to ensure that all 2022 HR-V owners experiencing this steering gearbox failure are granted access to the free repair (gearbox or worm gear spring replacement)  Google Search Yes, a significant \"sticky steering\" issue affecting nearly 1.7 million Honda and Acura vehicles from the 2022\u20132025 model years is being addressed through a massive NHTSA recall (Campaign 24V-744), initiated in October 2024.
