I have a 2018 Si sedan with 3500 miles on it and I am in love just one thing, my steering gearbox. I noticed last Monday that there was a small crack on my power steering gearbox is what they said at honda that grew over a few days and left me without a car for a week while parts came in a replaced. Got the car Thursday due to weather did not drive it till today and decided to check the work to see the replacement part was also cracked.

Is this an ongoing issue dose anyone else have it? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I thought I'd ask here. Maybe its the wrong place to ask not sure I'm new to this lol

That's what they told me was the issue when I took it in you could see it just from looking down on the passenger side right under the engine

Oh wow....so I have no crack on mine and I have a 17 coupe since 17... think you were just unlucky with this but then again, I have seen situations where they order new stuff and it just breaks the next day so it’s prolly just a bad part and they gotta fix it for ya

Maybe I am confusing this with something different, but I thought I read on here about a recall for the steering rack on certain 2016+ Civic steering racks. This could be the reason.

I would have asked if it was supposed to have a clear crack in it, why are the cracks different on each part. Also can you show this to me on another car in your lot

I haven't gone back to them yet I emailed the service advisor with pics and asked what's up, and they responded with that just funny that they think consumers are completely stupid
