The
recalls cover 1.4 million vehicles in the United States.
The Japanese automaker said one recall covers 268,000 2002-2006
model year CR-V vehicles in the United States to replace power
window master switches. Honda said there had been no reported
injuries, but 16 fires reported related to the issue.
Honda conducted a prior recall of the power window master
switches in 2012. The new recall is in response to
moisture-related failures of switches repaired under the
previous campaign.
Honda is also recalling about 735,000 U.S. 2018-2020 Accord,
Accord Hybrid and 2019-2020 Insight vehicles to update the Body
Control Module software. A programming flaw could disrupt
communication causing illumination of several warning lights and
malfunction of electronic components, it said, including "the
rear view camera display, turn signals and windshield wipers."
Honda is also issuing two recalls covering 430,000 U.S. vehicles
in 22 U.S. states and the District of Columbia with significant
road salt use to inspect and potentially replace front drive
shafts. Both are in response to possible breakage of the drive
shafts due to corrosion. No injuries have been reported in
relation any of the recalls, the company said.
Honda said repair parts are not available for all vehicles
involved in the drive shaft recalls. The recalls cover some 2012
Honda Civic Hybrid, 2007-2014 Honda Fit, 2013-2015 Acura ILX
2013 Acura ILX Hybrid and 2013-2015 Honda Accord vehicles. No
crashes have been reported in the drive shaft or software
recalls.
