On the 2023-2025 Acura Integra, acura Integra models from 2023 through 2025 are covered by NHTSA recall 24V744000, filed by American Honda. The steering gearbox assembly on affected Integras may have been manufactured incorrectly. The defect creates excessive friction inside the gearbox, and that friction can make the vehicle difficult to steer. NHTSA classifies the consequence plainly: difficulty steering increases the risk of a crash. The campaign is a large one — 1,693,199 units across every Honda and Acura model included, a figure that covers the whole campaign and is not specific to the Integra. Owner notification letters for the campaign were mailed November 18, 2024. Honda's internal recall numbers for this campaign are SJS, MJU, QJT and VJV.
Common Symptoms
Difficulty steering the vehicle
Steering that feels harder to turn than normal
How to Fix
The repair is free at any Acura dealer. The dealer replaces the worm gear spring in the steering gearbox and redistributes or adds grease as necessary — the gearbox itself is not replaced. If you did not receive the November 18, 2024 notification letter, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm whether your Integra is included and whether the remedy has already been performed. Honda Customer Service can be reached at 1-888-234-2138; reference recall SJS, MJU, QJT or VJV.
On the 2023-2025 Acura Integra, the Integra infotainment system experiences frequent wireless Apple CarPlay disconnections, navigation freezes, and delayed touchscreen response. The wireless CarPlay implementation drops connection every 10-15 minutes for some owners, requiring the phone to be unplugged and re-paired to restore functionality.
Update to the latest infotainment firmware from an Acura dealer. Forget and re-pair the phone via Bluetooth and CarPlay settings. Use a wired USB connection as a workaround for reliable CarPlay. Reset the infotainment to factory defaults if issues persist after the firmware update.
Owner tips & cautions
TipUse a high-quality USB-C cable for wired CarPlay instead of wireless. The wired connection is rock-solid and charges your phone simultaneously. The wireless CarPlay issues appear to be a Wi-Fi module firmware problem that Acura is still working to resolve.

On the 2023-2026 Acura Integra, the Integra turbo engines experience significant heat soak during spirited driving in ambient temperatures above 85 degrees F, causing noticeable power loss after sustained high-RPM driving. The intercooler efficiency drops as the engine bay temperature rises, and the ECU pulls timing aggressively to protect the engine.
Common Symptoms
Noticeable power loss after 2-3 hard pulls
Boost pressure drops in hot weather
Slower acceleration times in summer vs. winter
ECU retards timing under sustained load
Intake air temperature readings elevated
How to Fix
Allow 2-3 minutes of gentle driving between spirited runs to cool the intake charge. Ensure the intercooler fins are clean and unobstructed by debris. Aftermarket intercooler upgrades significantly reduce heat soak on the 1.5T. The Type S 2.0T is less affected due to its larger factory intercooler but still benefits from airflow improvements. The 2.0T Type S application begins with model year 2024; 2023 applications are 1.5T only. Match the intercooler to the engine and trim.
2 part options are hidden until exact year, trim, and engine fitment can be confirmed.
Owner tips & cautions
TipOn the 1.5T, an aftermarket front-mount intercooler (like the PRL Motorsports unit) drops intake temps by 30-40 degrees and virtually eliminates heat soak. It is the single best performance modification for the Integra.
