Description of the problem	I purchased my 2005 honda cr-v ex brand new. I had no real issues with it until around 2007. From that point on i have had my low-beam headlights (plural) burn out, almost in tandem, at least twice a year. The frequency appears to be increasing. Occasionally, they will take the dome light with them. I haven't touched the bulbs when replacing the dead sets. I have noticed a massive build-up of what appears to be black grease on the connectors when i've changed them the last few times. I don't know if this is the cause (if so, what is causing it) or a side effect of the problem. I noticed there was a recall on the 2002-2004 cr-v for the same symptoms (don't know if the cause was the same). I would like to report this as a "known issue" after reading approximately 161 complaints from others having the same problem (ref: cr-v headlight problem at http://www. Topix. Com/forum/autos/honda-cr-v/tlnd3jkaui93fs68g/p9). I would also like to know what the problem actually is. This is both a safety hazard and an expensive recurring repair.

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.
