Then, when more force is applied to turn the wheel, the steering mechanism suddenly \"lets go\", and this is accompanied by a clunking sound from the front of the vehicle.    I first noticed this a few weeks ago, and at first the resistance and noise was barely noticeable.  However, since then, the degree of resistance and volume of the clunking sound have been steadily INCREASING.  This has prompted me to get the problem diagnosed and repaired ASAP before it becomes more than just a distraction (I have an appointment with a dealier).  Meanwhile, I've done some web research about the issue, and found a Honda news release dated October 9, 2024 that announces a recall for a steering problem with symptoms that EXACTLY MATCH the problem my CR-V is exhibiting.  The same goes for the NHTSA \"Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-744\", which describes PRECISELY the same symptoms.    Unfortunately, the safety recall only covers 2023 through 2025 Honda CR-V's, so repairs to my 2021 CR-V is not covered.  However, it seems very likely that my vehicle DOES have the same issue.    Accordingl, I am reporting this to the NHTSA to (1) provide a data point that may help in establishing the prevalence of this issue, and (2) encourage further research by NHSTA as to whether an expansion of the recall is warranted.    I am also concerned about owners of vehicles that are not covered by the recall having to bear the repair costs.  I will get it repaired one way or the other, but I'm certain that many others would be discouraged by the cost and choose not to have it repaired.  Thank you for your attention to and actions taken regarding this matter.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"CR-V","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
