2008 Honda CR-V Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	HONDA
Model	CR-V
Model Year	2008
File date	08/12/15
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlamps blow out with frightening regularity; they last no more than 3-6 months. This is not due to contamination on the glass, as the blowout does not occur there. It may be a high voltage problem, as the headlamp socket has partially melted on several occasions as a result of a blowout. Both driver and passenger sides have been replaced with heavy duty/high temp sockets, and yet lamps continue to blow and have melted those. The blowouts have occurred both when the vehicle is stationary (starting) and while in motion. If both headlamps go out before you can replace the blown out one, then it becomes a potential cause of a night-time collision. If it was only an issue with headlights going out, that would be an expense worth managing for an otherwise solid car. But the melting of the socket and potential for additional shorts and arcing is troubling as it may lead to fire. Many cr-v owners have complained about and reported this very issue. Nhtsa needs to force honda to investigate and resolve this very, very common problem.
