- Reason
- On affected vehicles due to decrease of the grease amount in the worm wheel gear meshing area of the EPS gear box during use the sliding resistance at the meshing area increases and the torque fluctuation when turning the steering becomes larger resulting in an abnormal noise or a dangerous sticking occurs when turning the steering.

For the Honda Civic Type R (FL5) model replace the Steering Gearbox with a countermeasure part.
