Staff Report
Honda is initiating two voluntary recalls later this month in the United States.
Honda will voluntarily recall 80,111 CR-V vehicles from the 2006 model year in the U.S. to replace the power window master switch. “The design of the power window master switch can allow residue from interior cleaners to accumulate, which can, over time with switch use, cause the electrical contacts to degrade and may lead to a fire in the switch,” the automaker said in a release.
Honda will also voluntarily recall 5,626 CR-Z vehicles from the 2011 model year in the U.S. that are equipped with manual transmissions to update the software that controls the hybrid electric motor. In the affected vehicles, when the gasoline engine has stalled with the battery in a very low state of charge and the transmission in gear, it is possible for the electric motor to rotate in the direction opposite to that selected by the transmission. If this occurs and the driver has not engaged the brakes, the vehicle may slowly roll in an unexpected direction, Honda said.
The CR-V is made in East Liberty, Ohio. Production in East Liberty for the CR-V there began in late 2006 for the 2007 model year.
Recall notifications will begin in late September, 2011, the company said. Also in late September, owners may go to www.recalls.honda.com or they may call (800) 999-1009, and select option 4, the automaker said.
Honda has more than 13,000 workers in Ohio, including some 1,300 from the Miami Valley.
