| Description of the problem | Recently on the visit to honda dealer for air bag recall replacement the service advisor told me that my rack and pinon steering on the vehicle was leaking. I was surprised as the vehicle has been well maintained and not abused. It also has less than 98k on it. A search online shows that numerous other honda 2008 cr-v owners have noted a similar problem and this seems to be a common occurrence on this model which i believe warrants a recall for honda to repair at their expense. Failure of this part would lead to sudden loss of steering and i feel this is a safety issue. Complaints by other 2008 honda crv owners regarding this issue can be found at is this issue being escalated to a recall? Steering failure should be considered a safety issue of the highest priority.
