Honda Recalls 1.4 Million Vehicles in Multiple Campaigns
On Tuesday, Honda announced a bevy of recalls encompassing more than 1.4 million automobiles sold in the United States. Split between several campaigns, the recalls encompass everything from dissolving driveshafts to bum window controls that could potentially result in a vehicle fire.
According to reports issued via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the first and most-pressing issue involves the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V. Crossovers introduced to moisture could see their power window switches failing. If sufficient moisture is applied to the wires, Honda stated that there is some risk of a “thermal event.” As of November, the automaker said it was aware of 87 such instances and 23 reported events of fire.

Honda Recall 2020: 1.4 Million Drivers Need To Be Aware Of These Recalls
12/16/20 AT 9:57 AM
Honda (HMC) has issued three recalls that affect over 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S. to repair a series of safety issues for its namesake vehicles and Acura models.
The first recall includes about 268,000 2002 to 2006 CR-V vehicles that need to have their power window master switch replaced.
According to Honda, under certain conditions, rainwater or other liquids may enter through the open driver’s window accessing the power window master switch on the driver’s door. Over time, this exposure can lead to electrical resistance in the switch, causing the switch to overheat and melt. This can damage the switch and possibly the wire harness associated with the switch.
