Default Honda Recall!

Guess even Honda's are not recall proof.

Honda said Monday that it will recall 1 million cars globally to fix an electrical problem and a software glitch.

The company is recalling 936,000 cars worldwide from its Fit and CR-V lines to replace the master switch for the cars' power windows. A design flaw can allow residue from window cleaners to accumulate, which over time can degrade the switch's electrical contacts and potentially cause a fire. No injuries have been reported from the problem, which affects 80,111 cars in the United States from the CR-V's 2006 model year.

That's not a HONDA problem that's some company in China not building a switch correctly!

Honda's are stil perfect.

Where is the quality control before using said switch in the perfect Hondas?

That is because in the testing they spray the window cleaner into the RAG before wiping the window.(like your supposed to) Not like these other lazy people that just mist the window directly and 1/3 of the spray falls on the door!

Come on Lainey.

The CR-Z is also being recalled:

"
The CR-Z recall covers 5,626 cars from the 2011 model year, all with manual transmissions. Honda says if the engine stalls with the hybrid battery at low charge and the transmission in gear, the vehicle might unexpectedly roll in the opposite direction. If the transmission is in reverse, the vehicle will roll forward. If the transmission is in a forward gear, the vehicle will roll backward."

http://www.autoweek.com/article/2011...NEWS/110909936

Of course, anyone driving a manual that stalls the car will likely push the clutch immediately to try and restart it... but it's an odd problem for sure.

Is the CR-Z the one with a "software glitch?"

CTMech, that is a really weird problem.

I still want one.
