Honda has announced several recalls affecting more than 1.4 million American cars including over 700,000 Accords and Insights. Problems range from annoying to dangerous.
First, the big concerns.
Honda has recalled 2006-2007 CR-V SUVs over a fire risk. The problem starts innocuously – aging seals can allow moisture to get to the wiring of the window switches. The switches could fail, or, in extreme cases, the wet wiring could trigger a fire. Honda is aware of 23 instances. The recall covers about 268,000 vehicles. Dealerships will inspect for damage, and replace the master window power switch to correct the issue.
Another recall applies to 430,000 units of the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, 2007-2014 Honda Fit, 2013-2015 Acura ILX, and 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid. Worse-than-expected wear has been found on the drive shafts of some vehicles, especially those driven where road salt is commonly used in winter. Honda suspects that the protective coating may have been improperly applied to some drive shafts. Dealers will inspect the cars and replace any defective parts, beginning in February. In the meantime, Honda is asking drivers to always set the parking brake when parked, to prevent cars from rolling away if they have worn driveshaft parts.
Finally, the company has recalled 737,000 2018-2020 Accords and 2019-2020 Insights over some electrical gremlins. Owners have reported flickering lights, windshield wipers turning on and off without driver input, inoperable defrosters, and rearview cameras, and warning lights coming on and off for no reason. The body module control software appears to be the culprit. Dealers will fix the issues with a software update.
Recall repairs are, by law, done for free. Our recall center can tell you whether your car, Honda or otherwise, has been the subject of any recalls.
