Description of the problem	We bought our 2005 cr-v se in sum 10 and love the vehicle. Since then however, we've had to change headlight bulbs approximately 10 to 12 times. Sometimes a single bulb, sometimes both... They simply go out every couple of months. We even had to ride home one night with "high beams" because the both low beams simply failed. The next day we purchased new bulbs, installed them on the cr-v, and now the low-beams work, but the high beams do not. It's kind of getting old buying new bulbs every few months! My problem/concern is the fact that we have a known recall for a extremely similar issue on 2002 thru 2004 cr-v models. That recalls summary states: "due to tension from the combination switch wiring harness, wear on the surface of the electrical terminal can occur, yielding copper oxide, which increases electrical resistance. Increased electrical resistance may cause the terminal ends to melt within the wiring harness connector." the consequence listed on this recall is: "if the terminal ends melt within the wiring harness connector, the low beam headlights may become inoperative, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash." based on our experience, it seems the recall listed above should be expanded to include the 2005 cr-v models as well. We've looked at current recalls for our vehicle under the honda owners site and there are none listed for our vin... ? Honda may want to re-visit this recalls coverage before any other 2005 cr-v owner's headlights go out in the middle of the night while driving... This is a major safety concern!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
