Honda Recalls 554,000 CR-Vs and Pilots for Headlight Failure Following an investigation initiated last year by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Honda announced Friday that it would recall about 554,000 of its 2002-4 CR-Vs and the 2003 Pilot sport utility vehicles because the low-beam headlights might fail. The agency began the investigation last spring after receiving 12 complaints from owners who said both headlights stopped working simultaneously. Last September, the agency said it found enough reason for concern, including 34 complaints and additional information from Honda, that it upgraded the investigation to an engineering analysis. In a news release Friday, Honda acknowledged there was "a potential failure with the wiring of the headlight switch." The automaker said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the problem. In a separate action, Honda told the agency it would also recall about 1,300 of its 2006 CR-Vs because a weld on the suspension could fail, resulting in a loss of steering. Honda said the weld attaches the subframe bushing collar to the passenger-side front lower arm. Honda described its recalls as voluntary, but once an a manufacturer is aware of a safety problem, it must notify the agency within five business days of its plan for a recall. Here are other recent safety actions: General Motors is recalling about 6,100 of its 2012 Chevrolet Express and Suburbans, as well as GMC Savana and Yukon XL trucks. The automaker says the steering-gear Pitman shaft "may not have been adequately hardened and could fracture," which would result in a loss of steering. A supplier discovered the problem, G.M. told the safety agency. Porsche informed the N.H.T.S.A. of its plan to recall about 1,200 of its 911 Carrera S models from 2012, known internally as the 991 generation, because of a possible fuel leak. Porsche said an assembly error could cause a coolant pipe to rub against a button that would disconnect the fuel line. Problems would range from the smell of gas to the engine misfiring or stalling, and in the worst case, a fire. The automaker said, however, that it was not aware of any fires. BMW announced this week that it would recall about 367,000 5 Series and 6 Series vehicles in the United States because a faulty battery-cable connection in the cars" trunks posed a fire hazard. It is part of a worldwide recall of 1.3 million vehicles. For more information or to report a safety problem, click here.
