HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2004 CR-V; MODEL YEAR 2003 THROUGH 2005 PILOT; AND MODEL YEAR 2002 AND 2003 CIVIC VEHICLES. IN MARCH 2012, HONDA FILED A DEFECT REPORT TO RECALL CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2004 CR-V AND CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2003 PILOT VEHICLES. IN AUGUST 2012, HONDA INFORMED THE AGENCY THAT IT WAS INCLUDING AN ADDITIONAL 820,789 VEHICLES INCLUDING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004 AND 2005 PILOTS AND MODEL YEAR 2002 AND 2003 CIVICS. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED IS NOW 1,375,217. DUE TO TENSION FROM THE COMBINATION SWITCH WIRING HARNESS, WEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE ELECTRICAL TERMINAL CAN OCCUR, YIELDING COPPER OXIDE, WHICH INCREASES ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE. INCREASED ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE MAY CAUSE THE TERMINAL ENDS TO MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR.
IF THE TERMINAL ENDS MELT WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE, REDUCING DRIVER VISIBILITY AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE LOW BEAM TERMINAL HARNESS OR REPLACE THE LIGHTING SWITCH AS NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE ORIGINAL RECALL BEGAN IN APRIL 2012.

BOUGHT 4 NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX TIRES FOR MY HONDA CR-V IN AUG 2012. RIGHT AFTER BEING PUT ON, NOTICED LITTLE BULGES IN EACH TIRE ON OUTSIDE, BUT THE TIRE COMPANY PERSONNEL CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER MORE TIME, IT NEVER WENT AWAY AND THE TIRES BEGAN GETTING A LARGER BULGE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY SEEMED DEFECTIVE. I TRIED 3 X TO GET THE TIRE STORE TO REPLACE THEM, THEY SAID THEY WERE OK...THEY LOOSE AIR FREQUENTLY, AND MAKE A TERRIBLE THUMPING SOUND WHEN I DRIVE. THESE ARE NOT GOOD TIRES AND I HAVEN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE MILEAGE WARRANTY ON THESE. I WILL NOW CONTACT GOODYEAR DIRECTLY AFTER READING SOME OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES. *TR
