| Description of the problem | Low beam headlights fail every few months, sometimes while driving, necessitating replacement. It is a serious safety hazard. Many people with the 2006 cr-v have complained about this issue to honda, the nhtsa and all over the internet. Why hasn't honda issued a recall? Honda did have a recall for the 2002-2004 cr-v for the same issue, but not for the later years, saying that the headlight system was different in newer models. Maybe, but clearly the defect/hazard is in the 2006 model as well. I have reported this issue to honda before and did so again today, and it is american honda case # n012014-12-2301127. I insisted that they take a hard look at complaints about low beam headlight failure in the 2006 cr-v that have been filed with honda and the nhtsa and issue a recall, as they did for the older models. |
