RE: NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V-768. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT IN ADVANCE WITH A LOCAL HONDA CAR DEALER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS RECALL ON MARCH 2ND 2021. I SHOWED UP TO THE APPT. AND THE CAR DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL WORK. I THEN DEMANDED AN EXPLANATION TO THE HONDA SERVICE MANAGER AS TO WHY I WAS LET TO COME BY IF THEY WERE NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHY I WAS COMING. I LIVE 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN AWAY FROM THE NEAREST DEALER SHOP. THE HONDA MANAGER, AFTER NOTICING I WAS NOT BUYING THEIR LAME EXCUSES, HE VERY RUDELY AND ABRUPTLY ASKED TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THIS PATHETIC EPISODE HAPPENED IN THE HONDA OF ARECIBO CAR DEALER, IN PUERTO RICO ON MARCH 2ND 2021. THE SAME DAY 3/2/2021 IN THE PM, I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE FOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR DEALER, THE DISRESPECTFUL MANNER THE DEALER MANAGER TREATED ME, AND ALSO TO SEEK HELP IN MAKING A NEW APPOINTMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL AT A DIFFERENT CAR DEALER IN PUERTO RICO. A VERY POLITE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE ASSURED ME SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME IN THE FOLLOWING FEW DAYS TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND TO ENSURE THE CAR DEALER WOULD HAVE THE SPARE PARTS READY TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. TODAY IS MAY 6TH 2021, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM EITHER HONDA OR ANY LOCAL CAR DEALER. CLEARLY HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY AND HAS ATTEMPT NOTHING TO WORK ON MY RECALL.

HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON, MY HONDA CRV IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THIS MAKES NO SENSE SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE WITH MY CRV THAT THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED.

PROBLEM: HEADLIGHT BULB BLOWOUT AT ANY TIME; DRIVING OR STATIONARY. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO HONDA ARE DESIGNED TO RUN OFF THE BATTERY, NOT THE ALTERNATOR. IF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR IS DESIGNED TO PUSH THE BATTERY VOLTAGE BACK UP. THIS CAUSES VOLTAGE SPIKES THAT BLOW OUT THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS DESCRIBED ONLINE AT WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. FOR EXAMPLE: CR-V176,000 MILES PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY. THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.- STOCKTON, CA, USA TAKATA RECALL LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT STOPS WORKING HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS- MERCED, CA, USA CR-V 150,000 MILES HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BLOW. THEN CAN BLOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER INSTALLATION. BUT THEY BLOW OFTEN ENOUGH THAT WHEN THEY GO, I IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE STORE TO BUY REPLACEMENTS. JUST THIS EVENING, I HAD A THE RIGHT SIDE GO WHEN I REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I FEAR THAT BOTH MAY GO AT THE SAME TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR I ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH OUR INFANT IN THE BACKSEAT. THE BULBS HAVE BLOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, AS WELL AS WHEN PARKED.

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT EVERY 2-3 MONTHS SO CONSTANTLY CHANGING BULBS. VERY INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V-124 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: S33 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: FRONT LOWER ARM WELD RECALL DATE: 03/22/2012 SUMMARY: HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 CR-V VEHICLES. THE WELD STRENGTH ATTACHING THE SUB-FRAME BUSHING COLLAR TO THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM IS INSUFFICIENT. THE COLLAR CAN SEPARATE FROM THE ARM DUE TO VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: AS A RESULT, A LOSS OF STEERING CAN OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. REMEDY: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PRODUCTION LOT STAMP ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOWER ARM, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 17, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009. I HAVE HAD THIS PART BREAK ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV TWICE. THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VIN ADDED TO THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVING. WHEN I TURN, I AM ABLE TO FEEL THE STEERING NOT AS STABLE AS IT SHOULD BE.

2006 HONDA CR-V. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAILURE OF DOOR MOUNTED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *LD *JS
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, May 27, 2019
PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FUNCTION... HAVE REPLACED BULB EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, BUT THIS TIME (SINCE FEB. 2019) THERE IS NO RECOVERY. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULB, SOCKET AND CONNECTOR, CHECKED FUSES...HI BEAM AND PARKING/SIGNAL BULBS ALL FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT NO LOW BEAM ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IN THE 2005 MODELS. HONDA, IN CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, OF WHICH 2006 IS ONE, HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO OFFER REMEDY . THERE ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH INSTANCES OF THIS UNIQUE HAZARD TO JUSTIFY A RECALL, AND ONE IS LONG OVERDUE.
